UV & Reef

[RNall]

Thanks for all the input guys.

Sounds like it would be a good idea for me to keep the UV installed, install a few valves and only use it if I'm having a problem that the use of it would make sense.

I may experiment with it a bit. If I notice anything interesting, I will post it.

Thanks,

Ron

I have run UV's on everything from 75's to 220's and have never seen any detrimental effects on fauna and flora, and I have also never had serious algea or ick problems.... I err more on the side of helping nature, especially in such an artificial and fragile place as our tanks.

How was/is your copepod populations?

Thanks!

I have a seperate fuge, and there are tons of pods in there. If they go into the main tank then they go through the UV, but they are eaten straight away.... I also have tons in the overflow tower.
