    UV sterilizers?

    Whats is a good high quality UV sterilizer for a 180 gallon tank? Which is a better use to remove algae/bacteria or to remove parasites? Will it kill beneficial bacteria in the tank and will it interfere with an algae scrubber? What wattage/gph should I use? Thanks - Nick

    Microorganism UV Dosage Chart
