I have 25 gallon rubbermaid reservoir, 396GPH Ecoplus pump and 1/2 inch pvc railing that feeds my sprayers. What are some methods of hooking up a UV light and which should I get? (Stinkbud flower system)

I want to switch to organic in a few weeks I gotta get ready. Light sealing and algae killing here we come.


Edit:
P.S. Will be running Botanicare Pure Bloom Pro, has some organics and some beneficials. Will UV ruin it?

So UV Light will kill your beneficial bacteria too. Think I am going to just go for a sealed res, keep all the light out and rinse with H202 35% 1 tsp a gallon every res change for 1 hour.

Would love some help here if anyone knows about organic nutrients and a UV light in the res.

yes, UV lights will most definately kill the beneficial bacteria and does not work well in the resevoir, previous trial and error showed me... And also be careful when using strong UV lights as the strange smell is your flesh being burned and your eyes will feel like sand is in them in the morning. Not a very pleasant feeling.:sad: But good luck on your setup and grow... -Push
