There is evidence that aquarium UV sterilizers have no significant effect on bacteria levels in the water column. If you want the details you can check out the March 2011 issue of Advanced Aquarist. I'm not sure why you're running it but in regards to bacteria populations it sounds like it won't matter if you run it or not.
