Opinions on calc reac. and uv ster.

[SJSobczyk]

Does anyone know if a UV system could in anyway help control Algae outbreaks??

I, in no way, could answer this in any scentific terms. But i know that from my personal use it has completely destroyed all of my hair algea. I had algea really bad in my 75 gallon, i tried everything from scrubbing the rocks, to frequent water changes with purified water, etc. Nothing worked. So i figured, what the hell can i lose? I spent $180 on a brand new Coralife Turbo-Twist 6x sterilizer. About a day after installation i noticed how clear my water looked, totally different tank. Then about a week later i noticed my hair algea dying off. And now, completely hair algea free.

This is only my 2 cents but it has greatly helped me in some tank maintenance, plus it has kept my inhabitants disease free!

Good luck
