Re: UV sterelizer

Awesome quote under your name, JC!! If you want to run the UV sterilizer, I don't think it's necessary to run it until you get fish. If I remember correctly, you have one or two fish in there now, so it'd be okay to start it up. You just shouldn't run it during your cycle.

Re: UV sterelizer

I have a UV in one of my tanks and one without. I notice more Ich spots on the fish in the tank without a UV. You may want to wait a bit before setting it up to get your bacteria built up.
