	Sterilization
GuessWho Hobbyist Posts: 149 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Sep-2003	Does anybody use a steriliter? And how does it work for them. I am spending some time at the lfs waiting on my sump. He was trying to sell me a sterilizer, telling me how good they are for reef setups. The faq on this site does not really punt it though, is it just a nice to have then?
