I need a way to sterilize my top off rez. Problem is that I'm using hydroguard, so I don't want to kill that off. I noticed that bacteria can form in there and sometimes it goes down the water line and clogs the float valve preventing the system from topping off. I did order a 1/2" valve (vs 1/4" currently) to widen it up though.
So I was thinking of small amounts of h202, or frozen water bottles, but then I remembered UV sterilizers. Does anyone have one that they use for a similar situation? I see I can get one relatively cheap for around $30. Seems like a good way to keep the top off rez sterile and not harm the good bacteria in the system itself. Any thoughts?
