should i add a UV to my reef?

[mpoletti]

I have debated the same issue for quit some time and most likely add a UV on my new tank design. Lets see-- a couple tangs, a couple clowns, firefish, anthias, gobies, flamehawk, blenny, wrasses, etc-- all equal a lot of money and attachment. If I can create a better environment for them to live in and not perish (which would mean me too replace more fish instead of buying more corals) why would I not do that. In someways it is almost unresponsible not to do it. IMO.

If you don't have RODI yet then that's FIRST on the list.
I bought one of those before I even bought a tank

well i think after asking the ? and getting such a huge response of mixed reviews....im gonna setup a QT for future fish puchases and buy a RO/DI filter instead.......

Nice. It is well worth it to QT especially if you are just setting up your tank. For treating Cryptocaryon in the QT:
