I only have a nano 30 gallon tank right now that I want to get a UV light for. My plan is to then put the UV light on a QT/hospital tank for new fish. I've leaning towards getting a Aqua Ultraviolet 2000+ hob style. I see alot of different ones at different price points, anyone have and experience with a certain brand/model?

A lot of medications break down in UV so not really helpful in a QT. Getting flow right is always an issue with the HOB styles, but the Ultraviolets do well. Had one on a 20g for a while and was always super clear.

i'll prob run the UV only if im not medicating. Just as an extra precaution while the fish are under observation.
