I am about 2 months into my first saltwater/reef tank (been doing African cichlids for 10yrs). I didn't get a UV sterilizer initially but when I started reading about my future fish choices esp tangs, it became clear to me that some were very prone to parasitic infections such as ich. I decided the cost of one or 2 fishes will pay for a UV sterilizer and hopefully decrease my risk of getting parasitic fish infection. So I just bought one but yet to plumb it in. I don't know if it will replace practices such as quarantine and premedication or rather a complimentary tool. I am yet to decide. There seem to be some science behind it.
