UV sterilization Help

Best fish health = good water quality

UV sterilizers will kill parasites in the free-floating stage but a stable tank shouldn't have illnesses anyways.

That's where having an internal UV, or external on a separate pump, is really handy----they're great for quarantine tanks.

Your right but even the healthiest tanks have accidents. I quarantined all my stock for my newest 90 for over 30 days each and I accidentally transferred in ick using the wrong net :help::lipssealedsmilie: It happens and it reduces fish stress to have one.

Yeah, I picked up a bunch of cardinals one time during a group buy for $1/each. Turned out, the whole shipment had ich.

Popped on the UV, didn't lose a single one.

Awesome. So they really didn't die, huh? Great
