In-line UV sterilizer

[PostalPenguin]

I just got a UV sterilizer for my tank, 9W Jebo, to hopefully take care of some issues I have been having. My question is where do I put it in my filter set up? I have an Eheim 2213, yes its huge for my 10g but I am planning to upgrade to a larger tank. Would it be best to place it above or below the Eheim's quick connects on I am assuming the outflow side?

Either side will work.9 watts for a 10 gal?Wow.I got an 18 watt for my 2000 plus gallon pond!!What issues are you trying to solve?

Yes, 9W is excessive for 10 gallons, but it was only 30 bucks on ebay. Which is the cheapest by far that I could find. thumbs2:

I am trying to clear up an unknown cause of my fish flashing. They have been flashing for the past 3 weeks. I've treated for 3 weeks with anti-ich and fungal meds and the flashing only decreased a little bit. They have no white spots, no fungal growths and looked perfectly healthy. However, while it could be my imagination, the fish seem to be getting worse. I am noticing more injuries, presumably from flashing, and the fish acting more lethargic. They still eat like pigs and swim fine but I want to nail this before it gets worse.

My water is perfect with 0 ammonia and nitrites. I do weekly 30% water changes with vac. And yet it never seems to help their flashing. So I figured a UV unit could only help.
