Re: UV Sterilizer - Suggested Flow Rates

No, it's not necessary. Running ozonized water over charcoal is to remove any unused free oxygen radicals produced by ozonization. UV sterilizers are generally connected to the return and do not require charcoal as an end filtration.

No, it is not necessarily, since no pollutants develop, still to be solved. Only killed germs are removed via Skimmer from the aquarium.

Re: UV Sterilizer - Suggested Flow Rates

I got a Aquastep UV 10W back when I first set up my tank, and when I took it apart to clean it the little glass tube that protects the bulb is broken at the bottom. Is there a place to buy a new one???

That is called a quartz sleeve.
Do a Google search for "Aquastep UV 10w quartz sleeve".
