jus connect yr UV filter on yr inlet pipe that way.. that way u can avoid sterilizing any good bacteria oredi in yr filter.. remember not to turn it on 24/7, ard 4 hrs is good enuff for a planted tank
Thanks Simon,
What you mean is connect the UV filter to the part after my surface schemer?
Because at the moment, I have done it the other way.

hi hatchet
think simon is trying to say not to connect the UV filter to the inlet pipe but at the outlet one just after the filter.

The title below my name does not make me a guru...listen at your own risk!...
you won't sterilise any bacteria already in your filter unless you blast the uv directly at it
oops... dumb of me to make that mistake everytime
Sorry, just confused when I was reading the thread - Simon and David, at which pipe should the UVC or UVS be connected again? on the outlet pipe or inlet pipe? Sorry, maybe I dense [] thanx
Resistance is futile, you will be administrated!
Aiyoh, Simon, David... dun confuse ppl leh.
Tank--->Filter--->UV--->Tank

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
Yeah, connect the UV on the outlet. That's what Chan at NA said as well.
As for the usefulness, I think it does have it's advantages.
I'm using one and so far, no problems. Water is always really clear.
I not sure about this, but it seems good at disease prevention as well. When I first introduced cardinals and rummy noses into my tank, there were a couple of cardinals with white spots and 1 rummy nose with a fungal spot on it's gill area. Didn't add salt or anything to the tank coz of the plants. After about 2 weeks all the fish were ok.
just my experience...
