Guys, just to highlight that the usage of a UV Sterilizer is not a necessity as there are many reefers do not run a UV... however I've decided to add it to my system (at least for the time being) as I've added a few new fishes last few weeks and some of them are known to be ich magnets :o And the recent algae bloom is also part of the reasons... if everything is to settle down... I might just disconnect the UV until the next time I add new fishes :eyebrow:

And do bear in mind that almost all living organisms that pass through the UV will be sterilized... either killed instantly, damaged/injured or not being able to reproduce... that includes good bacterias also. This can potentially be a problem for those keeping SPS and relying on these good bacterias for natural feeding... for my case, I do dose sufficient food such as Roti-feast, Phytoplanktons, Reef-roid, Cyclopeeze, Zooplanktons and also the old-fashion "stirring of sand bed".

Everything has its pros and cons :lol:

dat monti

the purple/bluish patch will turn green as well? <_<:heh:

Sis Waner, actually that patch is grey in colour (looked purple under my lighting)... I suspect it is a form of discolouration :erm: But the good news is the green is coming back... I expect that patch to be gone within weeks :)

Actually it has baby blue polyps which can't be seen in the pix :huh:

That lens 4-digit lah :shock::shock::shock:

Lowered my Grotech Photon Plus light fixture by 3" this morning... making it 6" from water surface right now... transferring a significant amount of heat into the water I suppose... but no choice lah :cry:

if you lower the light. means more heat.

which also means that your chiller is gonna spent a lot more time

cooling down the water.

means electric bill a lil higher.

Well... that's a very possible scenario bro Godzilla... definitely more heat transfer as MH is known to do that... but for my case, I will be combining/replacing some of the pumps in my tank as early as next week... by saving up to 100W worth of 24/7 pump consumption... I believe that will counter the increment.

Bottomline is... yes my chiller will work harder no doubt... that's part of the hobby I guess :unsure:
