Re: UV sterilizer

["M.LIEBANES" <M.LIEBANES@terra.es>]

Many/some of the discus people use them, especially if they have health 
problems. UV can also be used on green water problems as it kills 
pretty much anything which goes through the housing. If you ever have 
an ich outbreak it might be worth trying UV in conjunction with 
blackouts / raised temps etc. 
I have a UV but it wasn't in place when I had my last ich outbreak:-(.
