Need UV recommendations :)

[Jhuneke]

Hello Reefskis
I want to use a uv sterilizer in the sump of my seahorse tank. It's about 50g twv..
My sump is only 11.5" front to back so need something small and easy.. But that WORKS well.. Any input?
TIA
J

I have the 15 watt hanger. I like it except the way it is plumbed is a pain in the a$$. I have it on my sump, so the tubing has to bend around a lot. Bulbs are expensive.

Don't seahorses eat pods? A UV would greatly reduce the pod population.

No .. My ponies and mandarin eat frozen mysis

Where'd did you get your mandarin from? Was he always eating frozen?

While seahorses will snack on pods, this is a misconception that copepods make up their entire diet or that it can sustain them.

Have you thought about a ozone generator instead?
