This is a multifaceted question so feel free to address either piece. First, do you run a UV sterilizer? I have had a few donated and am considering installing one on in hopes that it will help eliminate any remaining ICK that may be in my tank even though no fish are currently showing signs. I am also hoping it will help with cyano. What are your opinions of UV sterilizers?
Second, one of the sterilizers that I want to use is giving me mixed messages. The bulb is burnt out. The outside of the unit says it is a 25 watt sterilizer, but the burnt out bulb is a 57 watt bulb. What size bulb should I go with? Problem is I can remember who I got the unit from it was either Martin or Ryan from Coralate. Which bulb would you order?
