Default UV Light to Kill W/C Bacteria

UV light is used in the food processing industry to kill bacteria. Barbers, dentists, doctors, and lab techs even sterilize with it. I have used it for some time -with real success- to neutralize the nasties that ALWAYS grow in milling machine / wet saw coolant. I know that there are MANY systems running UV / blacklights for decoration.

I am looking at putting UV Lights / LEDs in my Res. and around my system to kill bacteria.

Does anyone have data on algae / bacteria growth in their systems that use black lights?

Does anyone know if UV light will hinder algae growth?
