This is a decision am going to have to make in the next hour before my tank instalation begins, do you guys think having a uv come after my refugium is bad? please some pros and cons .

UV should alwaws be the last in the filter line the pro's and con's if put in the first stages it will get stuff on the crystal lining reducing the performance very fast if put at the end ( befor it goes in the tank) it will have less junk to cut through and to do what its posta do with limiting the build up on the crystal lining

No i mean of having one at all, cause if i put it at the end it will zap atll the copods or anythign else the refugium sends up, but is having one better even tho it will kill the good stuff aswell>?
