hello,
considering the purchase of a UV Sterilizer...need some advice.
Any recommendations on type/brand of UV sterlizer?
-I am leaning towards one that does NOT require a pump to circulate water...
Does the UV sterlizer need to run continously? Would it extend the life of the bulb by hooking it up to a timer vs. running 24/7? would shutting it off greatly affect its effectiveness?
I am planning on placing it in a 125 gallon medium light planted tank. Also not sure what watt bulb to get? I have seen everything from a 9w to 34w....
appreciate any advice...
