- Should we expect a UV Sterilizer to cure bacteria or algae problems in our saltwater tanks? Are we asking UV too much from our UV Sterilizers when it comes to solving algae or bacterial related issues? Today we add to our UV Sterilizer mini-series with a look at what we can expect UV to do for our tanks and what we shouldn't expect it to do.

Except install. :' (
Your tanks are full of phosphate and silicate.
Id love to see a video on how to plumb the UV correctly.
UV is a must. I personally witnessed the difference it made in my reef tank..
Hooked up a UV sterilizer on my tank about 2 weeks ago and noticed the effects of it probably hours later. Water is crystal clear. Also, I had to clean my glass every other day of algae and it was getting to me. I have only had to clean the glass once since installing the UV sterilizer.
I’m not sure if it will help prevent illness from parasites but the juice is worth the squeeze for the improvement in viewing quality of my tank alone along with cleaning the glass less often. That’s good enough for me. I keep a QT tank so not too worried about introducing parasites.
YOU'VE CONVINCED US PLENTY! NOW WHERE IS THE UNBOXING/ INSTALL VIDEO!? : )
Awesome Video ("Is the Juice worth the squeeze" I like it)
Hey BRS! Thanks for all the great content lately!! Please keep it coming!!!
I have a chocolate chip starfish it does a good job removing algae from the glass surface.
Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍
Good insight, would a UV sterilizer be suitable to help combat fish tuberculosis or Mycobacteria?
Great video!
I have two uv-lights on my tank... I can not imagine not having them.
Not having to clean the glass so often is a win for me!

What's that little tool you're using to kick up the mess? Looks like an air brush tool almost. Was at 7:17
Which size to my reefer 350 ? how many size in let UV ? Which UV size good to my tank. Best regards
How does this impact the live phytoplankton I add daily
It's probably best not to run your UV if you are dosing living organisms that remain suspended in the water column.
what happened to the video about how you suggest plumbing the darn thing?
If I set the flow rate of my UV to focus of pathogens does that mean I'd need a separate UV to be efficient against algae?
That's correct.
He literally explained this in the video.
How many hours a day should you run this for?
We recommend running a UV sterilizer 24 hours per day
I don’t see a need in it at all. Cloudy water is a sign of single cellular algae in the water. Just add filter feeders or wait for them to appear on their own, it will become normal in time.
Did uv safe for coral?
UV sterilizers will only affect what passes through them, so they're completely safe for corals.
Which one is good for 65 gallon??
Check out the Pentair 18w sterilizer for your 65 gallon tank :)
