Ade Piranha MFK Member Jun 7, 2008 3,534 28 81 London Aug 10, 2013 #8 I use 25watt UV through an eheim 2080. Definately helps reduce algea a bit. Also any wounds from fighting ... which is very rare in my tank... I tend not to worry .. dont use melafix.. just let the water quality and UV do its job.
