Ok so I guess my next question would be do I need or should I get a protein skimmer for a FOWLR tank
And if so do you think this would be any good

+1Yoo Tony!
This is always a widely discussed topic "to UV or not to UV"
Answers are always divided as to what to do, many say it's good, more are saying overkill for the system.
Some say it works for Ich and others are saying that HA is gone after a few day or longer since using one.
You just have to ask your self "what is a UV and how does it works?"
If you ask me and that is scientific proven it won't get rid of your Ich, now every time something passes your UV light it get sapped to die as the Ich too.
But not all Ichies in the tank are lining up to be sucked up by the UV
Algae, yes it works for floating algae only as it needs to pas the UV in order to get sapped and monocular life is damaged or killed.
If algae is just on your rocks fight algae with algae.
If water isn't clear enough for you then I'm asking how clear you want your water?
Use of AC, socks, and in my case simple Micronano bubbling you will get your water clear enough to say or ask yourself if you still has glass between you and the water in your tank.
My advice is do a lot of homework yourself before you drop a few hundreds of $$$ for a UV.
Good question though.
On a side note and maybe a funny thing is that I installed a UV for a friend but never plugged it in.
One week in the tank cleared up and HA started to die off.
My friend told everybody that his UV was the best thing ever till I told him a month later to plug it in.
True story and no he ain't running a UV anymore
