Default UV = not just algae control

Hi bros,
read some of the threads with interest. I think besides algae control, UV also kills germs and bacterias present in water. Some bros may say yah it kills off the useful bact, but I think it does its part.

For me, no pond but my tank is outdoor so i have to on the UV 24/7.. controls the algae. Just to share.

i am using 36W, flow-thru, UVC. i took me less than a week. one reason is due to my low bio-load.

my friends, who had high bio-load took them more than 2 weeks.
