Hatcher2014 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey everyone i was wondering if anyone out there had a UV Sterlizer that they are not using im getting some fish that are really prone to ich and i want to be ahead of the game before i get them and trying to avoid spending a lot of money if someone has one they are not using or trying to get rid of I need a big one cause i have a 265 display and 75 sump so im guessing i need at least 40 watt on the low side would like to get a 57 if its out there for the right price thanks everyone.

Derbird Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just be careful, UV is great but it only helps with the free swimming life stage of ich and only kills the ones that go through the filter. Its helpful but won't eradicate ich. Just my $.02 :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatcher2014 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 i agree with you on that derbird but every little bit helps and i dont have the space for a QT so anything an everything is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Right on just wanted to be sure you knew that. I have been very lucky myself. Two tangs and no QT (scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatcher2014 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 yeah i feel you on that i have quite a few tangs and there is still a few i want and they are way prone to ich so my fingers are crossed as well as my toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Do you have a build thread? Sounds like an awesome tank. P.S. my LFS has some old 40 watt UV filters, I can ask how much they want if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatcher2014 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hey Gill yeah i would appreciate it if you could ask for me I would be greatful. And no i havent started a tank build yet havent gotten it completly finished yet, but i guess that is why they call it a build thread huh lol I guess i will break down and do one so i can get some hopefully positive feedback lol.
