UV Sterilizer

[chowberg]

I have a 75 gallon tank, any suggestions on a UV Sterilizer? What brand do people use on here?

[LTCrunch]

is it a reef tank or is it a FOWLR tank?

I don't use a sterilizer on my tank, but for that size I would probably go with a turbo twist 3x. I like the simple design and the low flow rate allows you to use a small enegry efficient pump that will not add much heat.

it is a reef tank, going to have mushrooms and xenias. lightly stocked fish

I have a 36w Aqua Medic UV sterilizer on my 100 gal. system.. :D

A slight over kill..LOL

I have a turbo twist 6x(18w) on 120g sps reef. Have to say, water seems alot more clear. Fish and corals look happier.... Now recommend UV going forward.

i know the general rule is you get what pay for, but how is the jebo UV sterilizer?

also, i have a fuge growing chaeto.. does that affect anything?

[Entropy]

IMO it will not if you run it as a closed loop or if you put it on the return side so the water feeding the fuge is still unfiltered (UV). It still shouldn't effect the growth of your chaeto, but it might effect any critters you have in there (pods).
