Unless you have a very special reason for using a UF steriliser I would advise you not to use one. They indiscrimiately kill all bacteria both good and bad and the end result is your fish having weaker immune systems than they should have. Good bugs are necessary in a balanced aquarium.

You took your fish out of their 30 gal tank to rid it of velvet After a month with a UV sterilizer is it ok to add your fish back in?
There is no way a UV sterilizer will cure your fish of velvet. IMO they are a waste of money and counterproductive because they do more harm than good in a fish tank by indiscriminately killing good bacteria as swell as bad. Velvet disease (Oodinium) is a skin disease and the fish will all have it in their slime coats. The UV Sterelizer will do nothing to fix anything that is on the fish it can only kill water born, UV sensitive, life that actually passes through it. Acriflavine is a good reliable treatment for Velvet disease but commercially available Ich (whitespot) cures should also do the job.

A ten gallon is really too small for even the smallest of turtles. Try starting a hatchling in a 20 gallon aquarium, even then though it will outgrow that size in about a year. Make sure that you provide your turtle with a dry basking spot, with basking lamp, AND a UV producing fluorescent light.
