JWags911SC Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I never thought twice about it since I began this hobby about 8 years ago, but after having some constant Cyano and Dinos issues in my 60 gallon tank I invested in a 55 watt Jebao UV. After 48 hours with it up and running, my tank "haze" went away and I saw a noticeable reduction in both the slime algae I had as well as the Dinos on the sandbed. The water clarity is unlike anything I have seen before since I started in this hobby. IMO I have never made a better investment in this hobby than buying a UV. I know there are some downsides to running a UV, but I think the benefits at least at this stage outweigh the costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtroutt19 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I recently about 5 months ago put one on my tank. I was having a dino issue that I could not get under control! Needless to say they are gone now. I dont run mine all the time to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
