beleive it or not there are things in your reef that you do not know about.
There are creatures hundreds, perhaps thousands of times smaller then
copepods, isopods, amphipods. Your UV is a complete waste of money. It is
in fact killing bacteria, but why would you want that? Can you please tell
me what in the ocean is similar to a UV? Can you tell me why that these
miracle devices work? A reef tank is not designed to be sterile, I wonder
if you even feed your corals......
