RE: UV & disease - not algea
I need some input from those with experience with UV Sterilizers. I very
seldom have algea problems but occassionally over the years have an outbreak
of ich or fungus. I do not like using medications or increaseing the temp
in my planted tank and am thinking of investing in a UV unit. I searched
the archives here and the Krib - all of that info seemed to be directed to
why or why not to use a UV in regards to algea. What I want to know is -
will the sterilizer take care of any disease problem without having to also
use medications? - and - can anyone tell me what an appropriate
"time-dose" is to eradicate disease - I certainly do not want to run the UV
all the time - just in place of medications. Thanks for your help.
