Hey everyone! I have been running a Coralife 9w Turbo Twist UV sterilizer on my 28g Nano Cube for the past few weeks and its been doing an incredible job.

I picked it up because I had been battling dinos and cyano for about 2 years, and after trying everything (blackouts, not doing WCs, Refresh/waste away) and losing almost all of my stony corals I decided to try this and it cleared my entire tank of nuisances in a matter of days.

I've been running it 24/7 for 3 weeks. Its plumbed I nto one of the filter returns with a MJ1200 pump. Is it overkill to keep it running this much? Should I change it to night only or remove it entirely?
 
keep it in your arsenal of equip. but its probably not needed once you get your reef balanced.
