not at the moment maybe. unless your tank water needs clearing up. then again it wouldnt do any harm to have one handy.

they kill beneficial stuff too remember, i would think its a great thing to have on hand when you have like an ich outbreak or something similar, but other than that i think its a waste.

if your tnak is fine dont do it, if youve been haveing ich problems it wouldnt hurt

They are relatively inexpensive. I have one on mine. I'll be setting up a quarantine tank in a few weeks so I might attach it to that for new arrivals. Its definitely something to consider for the futurem as is a quarantine tank.

Good point....helps me out a bit.....I definitely would limit it to quaranteen tanks. And, the smaller the tank, the cheaper the UV unit I suppose.
