Hello all,
After about a month of battling dinos various ways, I am ready to take the plunge and buy a UV sterilizer, because it's seemingly the only thing people agree works.
My major concern is related to setup. The tank is up and running, and I'd rather not have to re-plumb everything just to put the sterilizer on the return line or drain or whatever. But my tank has an 80 gallon display (plus sump volume) which makes me think that the strongest HOB models I can find (like the 15 watt Aqua Ultraviolet Advantage) would be a bit too underpowered for my purposes.
Is there something available for larger tanks which is a bit more "plug and play?" Or do I have to resign myself to putting it in-line?
