Uv sterilizer for 28g nanocube (dinos)

[Reefer Dan]

So I’ve got multiple types of dinos and one of them is the kind that goes into the water at night. I have a 28g nanocube and according to recommendations I need about a 10W UV sterilizer. With limited space, especially in the back sump area (I have a skimmer in mine), it really limits my options for a sterilizer.

Anyone have any suggestions (they can’t be ones that require separate plumbing for like a sump?

Bonus question: any idea if the uv sterilizer is only until the Dino problem is fixed or is it a 24/7 from now on?

Crazy that you got dinos with keeping a decent level of nutrients in the tank, I just beat dinos with the cheap uv light. I threw the light in my return of my sump and skipped water changes for couple weeks. Most will say to adjust your lighting but I never did. Did you let your nutrients bottom out?
