I can't really select a voting option.
UV can be beneficial, but in saying that it can also hurt a system. Beneficial could be if you have ICH, or if you have alot of algae in your water column. Then UV can help to remove this BUT.... Detrimental is when you are using Zeovit, or any other bacteria based system to create a ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient System), then you cannot use UV, as it will kill this system. So it will all depend on what you are going to do with your tank.
