Hi everyone
I was looking for opinions on using a uv light in a reef tank, and also on running carbon and gfo in a reef tank. I have had my 180 gallon reef tank up for about two years now and have always ran a 36 watt uv sterilizer and also ran a carbon reactor and a gfo reactor. Until recently I have ran into more and more people who say they do not run any of the above three that I have mentioned, except in certain situations like a algae bloom. My corals look great but am I depriving them of any nutrients by running all three of the mentioned above at the same time.
