Well, I laughed out loud if that tells you anything. I use a UV on every marine aquarium. When disease hits, I have not medicated in nearly 10 years. I have full confidence that the UV will prevent the spread of the infection and that the natural immunity of the fish will be enough to fight off the disease, enhanced by feeding garlic of course.
Bottom line, the people who dislike them have never used them.
Hi, my tank has now been set up for 28 day's waters stat's are:
PH 8.4
ammonia 0
nitite 0
nitrate 0
kh 9
ca+2 440
I've got some question's i still have some algea from the diatom bloom on my sand and some patches of green algea do you think this is a flow problem also in the last 4 day's my kh and calcium have been dropping so i am having to buffer them every day does this sound normal.:-? help:lol:
Are you adding both a buffer and a calcium supplement? You should be using 2 different additives to adjust these levels correctly. It sounds to me like you are adding only a buffer and not a calcium supplement.
