In the case of O. Ovata I don't think UV would do much good. I ran a canister with a micron filter for days that would stop any and all dinos and it didn't make much of a dent. Since UV will have a much smaller kill rate than the canister's %100 it doesn't seem very promising. Maybe for other types of dinos it would work better.
