Yes, rather than a university staff room (with it's plethora of 'professors' and 'experts').

I'm going to side with those that feel that the bacteria don't proliferate in the water column. If your tank is overstocked or has a high bioload, UV is probably best for the health of your fish... otherwise shouldn't really be needed. And UV makes your water nice and clear (when used with a skimmer).
