I have a 30watt Aquanetics sterilizer. I havn't installed it on the 200 yet. I have used it in the past and didn't have any Ich . Not sure how I want to plumb it. I learned that a dedicated pump from the sump to the tank is best. I think having it draw water from the skimmer box to feed the Refugium would work. This way it won't zap any bugs in the ref. My question is how will zaping any Phyto and such before entering the ref affect the bugs food sourcei See any probs runnin it this way?
