Anyone using a UV Sterilizer?

Just wondering if anyone have installed a UV sterilizer on their RSM? If so, what has been the outcome and what kind have you used?
 
I'm on edge about getting one! I also have read about them and don't know if it will help. Most people using them, say it's a good way to prevent ich and control algae and also clears up water!

My water is clear even though I have to clean the glass almost everyday from green algae growing. I do however have a hippo tang that has started to show signs of ich.

I don't have a QT set up so I can't separate him! I am treating him with an ich medication that won't harm the rest of the tank. He is eating well so I guess we'll see.
 
Thanks for the input! I've heard both good and bad. I'm considering the Coralife Turbo-Twist 36w. Connecting to a timmer so It won't be on all the time!

I've thought about it off and on since I got my tank. I was going to put it in line with my chiller return. But after reading nanoreefing4fun's links and others I could never bring myself to buy one.

I've considered one also, but I'm just not convinced they'll do much good. They have nice smaller ones that are submersible with a built in pump - plug & play.
