I was given one as a gift, and figured I might as well hook it up, but was curious/concerned about its possible effect on the free-swimming young of tunicates. My concern stems from the fact that I would like to put a medium size angel in, and want there to be some live food available. I love the Apolemichthys genus, and it’s not too hard to find retail specimens eating prepared foods in my area. But even if it’s eating, I’d like to provide the most complete diet possible. The sterilizer takes a 9watt bulb and suggests 100 – 200gph for most applications and I think around 50gph for parasites. I would prefer to hook it up to my canister’s output at 350gph, because in all honesty this would make it much, much easier to clean, service, etc. Is it even worth bothering at
