UV Sterilizers

Hi Guys

Just wondering that i should purchase next for my tank

I have

6ftx2ftx2.5ft tank
stand
6ft t5 lighting(chose this over MH due to cost and not wanting to keep hard corals)
Tunze wavebox
sump/skimmer/refugium
substrate

I'm going to leave out live rock for the moment, i want to test the tank temperature without a chiller as i have a cool room + aircon

Are sterilizers any good, i'm a fan of the pristine tanks, algae is not my friend

Please advise a me on what i should get.

Thanks heaps,(i'll be posting pictures when its running soon

Cheers

Zimby

i like my UV too, everyone told me not to get one, but I have sen an improvement in my fish and the tank conditions because of it.
Also I run one on a QT tank as I'm sure it helps during the free floating cycle of ick.

i also have a RO unit though.
