Kill too much benefical stuff. I ran them in the 90's and just like with diatom filters they are not selective on what they kill. Great for ponds and killing free floating algae

What size of tank do you have?

[tonyydeee]

75 gal

We have lots of tangs and use a UV. Some say they would not have a tank without a UV and some say never to use them. If you have an ich problem, give the UV a try.
