    Pros and Cons to UV Filters

    Hey guys, so I know very little on UV Filters and was recommended to using one to help combat my cyano problem. I'm not too sure what they do other than it killing algae/bacteria that passes through it. Are there pros and cons to them? Will I have to feed more to keep nutrient up or anything...
