Setting up two 120gal tanks to a large sump trickle filter. The tanks have built in overflows and shoul turnover at least 6 x per hour. Does anyone have any opinions or experience with uv sterilizers?

Do they really improve the health of the fish in an otherwise well filtered, clean tank?

Not that you would notice.
If you are happy with how your water looks and your fish are healthy, I would pass on the UV.

I have one.
9watt for a 55g.
I got it when I went through a cloudy water issue.
It was at a ridiculously low price..mismarked.
It cleared the water in 48 hrs. and brought it to a clarity I couldn`t have imagined.

If you can find one for a really good price, they are a great tool to have on hand.
