Good old canreef...this is the classic canreef thread

My input would be that the zeo bac would be made less efficient if used with a uv, becasue a UV is used to kill single cell algae and bacteria that flow through it. Thus, if you turn off the UV for a bit after dosing zeobac, or, didn't dose the zeobac into the feed pump of the UV, you would probably be ok, as the zeobac would be able to settle in the zeo rector.

That being said, generally the tanks that run zeo have that stupid fuzzy fine algae and the UV would do absolutely nothing for this.

Wost case setups would be where you would use the same feed pump for the UV and the zeo reactor and everything that goes in the zeo reactor flows first through the UV.

I think you are probably fine running both, but often times a UV is not the most necessary at all time of the aquarium process...that being said, either is zeo...
