might not be necessary, if your water parameters are where they need to be then you can get one. they do a great job for disease control and water born algae (green water). anything that would help the integrity of your tank/investment is a good idea. however if you have high ammonia then you got some work to do!!
I agree if your water isn't green you don't need a UV light but you might need a finer sustance in your filter to remove small particles.
yea my para's are where they are suppose to be. I just know where to get a great deal on 8-16 watt ones or around that size.
