Are they worth having? If so, what size/brands are the best for a 60 gallon 48"x13"
what are the pros and cons if any?
what are the pros and cons if any?
Pros: kills algae/green water, CAN kill parasites, Bactria ect(if water flows slow enough threw it for good uv exposer). Provides water clarity
Cons: bulbs can be expensive depending on what brand u get. Not really any cons to be honest. A lot of people claim it can kill bb. Being as bb is not floating around in the water, I say false. Maybe if you disturbed ur bb but i disagree.
Brand: I'd chose a coralife turbo twist
everything you need to know about UV sterilizers are in this article, its very long but goes into great detail

Yes, even though they try to push their own product, its still very good information. And their product does look quite good anyways and I plan to buy one soon
