You will need a medication that contains formalin as an ingredient. Those are not reef safe. You will have to catch out the fish for 3 separate dips every 2-3 days until it is cured.

A UV unit is only good if it can handle the flowrate of your pump. If you buy a small unit and run a large volume of water through it, even brine shrimp passing through the UV will come out alive.

FuEl Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 yah i understand... it works somehow like the chiller...just wondering which brand is better? For small flowrates below 1200l/hr most UVs seem to be effective. Above that, very hard to find a good one. Even the large pond UVs are not that effective as they are designed more as clarifiers than sterilizers. Good UV units will state the uv irradiation level at respective flowrates passing through the unit. UV irradiation needs to be of a certain intensity to kill different organisms. For example, low irradiation levels will kill algae but not protozoans.
