how many of you guys use a UV and ozone to help lower it and do you guys have any pros or cons with the use of it.

I have a 240 sps dominated with a couple lps and zoas. I have a BB and use pappone to feed the tank.

here some info on ozone. Both uv and ozone are use to "clear" up the water.

There are a lot better way to lower nutrients.

Both won't lower the nutriment, they only kill bacteria and the like.
