What does the UV Sterilizer do?
UV sterilizers can be used to accomplish various things, and for a hobbyist, you must decide the one you'd like to achieve.
A UV is a great way to remove cloudy water caused by bacteria blooms. They can kill algae, cyanobacteria as well as dinoflagellates and also limit the spread of harmful algae within your tank. This is a typical wish for hobbyists and is the ideal scenario for UV sterilizers. They improve water clarity all over the world and aid in the reduction of unwanted pests, however only when they are used correctly.
To allow the UV sterilizer to remove anything it has to pass by the UV sterilizer and it can be submerged in the waters. If algae are developing on the rocks, or the cyanobacteria covers your sandy bed, the UV sterilizer is not able to eliminate it. It will only decrease the population of these diseases that are floating on the surface of the water. This will slow the rate of spread and growth, but it won't eliminate the existing growth on the tank's surface. It's an excellent preventative measure that is best viewed as a means of controlling rather than eliminating. Combine UV sterilization with the right management and maintenance techniques and you're much less likely to suffer from an unwelcome outbreak.
