Hey all,
I'm wondering if a UV is needed for a fish/reef tank combo?
Reason I ask is I got my 135g setup yesterday and the person gave me a HUGE UV reactor (?). He said he only used it when his fish got ich one time, but never noticed it was needed after that.
I guess he stood it up on the wall behind the tank. My tank is on a pony wall, so you would see it if I did that. I didn't know if I could lie it down (or strap it in the stand horizontally under the tank if I have room) or does it have to stand up?
Also, is it truly needed? I won't go through all the trouble of plumbing it back into the system and trying to find a place to put it if I don't truly need it.
Thanks!
