UV Sterilizer

[fishoholic]

I was thinking about getting a UV sterilizer. I know it will kill anything that goes through it. I was wondering (for those who have experience/knowledge about them) do you find you have enough pods/live mysis in your tank while running a UV sterilizer? I would like to get one to help fight off any bad things (edit when I wrote "bad things" I should of clarified and said possible ich parasite, my water quality and parameters are fine) but I'm concerned about a UV sterilizer severely depleting my pod/mysis population.

Right now I have a `fuge with a pipefish in it that lives on pods and live mysis. I have tons of pods and mysis right now. I know with running UV I will lose some, but I'm worried about losing to many.

Any thoughts? Thanks, Laurie
