New Cichlid 260 Gal Tank Need Help

[williamsrt]

Hello All,

I have done a search for the following with no luck. Can you use a pond uv sterilization for freshwater aquarium? The reason I ask this is they are about half the cost of one made for fresh water tanks. Everthing I have read shows that there is relly no difference other then the flow rates being higher with the pond uv units out there.

Thanks,

Randall Williams

Why would you need one?You should hardly get any algae...Seems a bit of a waste to me.
