I wouldn't bother trying to keep ick-magnet tangs without one.
Chin has a 80w UV and ozone on his system & that probably accounts for the recovery of his very icky Achilles tang this week.

My achillies tang went through about the same sequence of attack/recovery as his...but I don't have a UV sterilizer. Obviously, his running of UV didn't prevent the ick attack in the first place. This makes me wonder if the UV is at all effective against ick.
