Firstly id like to say hello and thank everyone that makes this awesome site possible :)
I am a long time reader of the forums but have never posted before..
I had a question regarding UV Steriliser's, i am planning on getting a 6X2X2 tank in the near future and wanted to know if a 16W inline unit
will be enough to do the job..
Any suggestion would be great!
Cheers
Welcome to DF.com
Personally for that sized tank, I would be using a 25w or 36w unit.
On the same sized tank I use a 36w and I have not had a single problem with fish health or free particle algae ever since.
Ahh okay.. Will do!
Also was wondering what to do for Substrate, thinking of going for a moderate to heavily planted tank.. Was told to use river sand?
Lots of Swords, Val, Java moss and ferns!!
go for pool filter sand its not as dirty as river sand :wink:
For a 6X2X2 tank 16W wont be enough.
Go for bigger Watt like Pro suggested, 36W.
