Just completed my fishless cycle in 14 days!! I used turbo start 900 + Microbacter7 and all parameters are at 0, nitrates at 20ppm.

I’m adding clowns and contemplating if I should turn on my UV once I do. To start prevention of parasites and lessen ugly stage alge.

Will the UV stun bacteria growth or will it have no effect?

The bacteria we like lives on surfaces not in the water column
