    Nautilus,

    How long does the UV filter run each day?

    Oh Ok,

    Even though the good people here have stated positive things about the UV sterilizers, I'm still a bit sceptical.

    Would appreciate updates, particularly regarding the effect ( if any ) on coral :)

    Everything in the tank the same or looking about the same except the buttons.
    The long green polyps growing on the back glass is still spreading very well.
    Torch is exstending more. galaxy seems like iy is better. frogsspawn looking a little down but does after a water change. xenia looking same. doughnut looking same all mushrooms are bigger, zoo loving it, Kenya tree retracted because of water change.
    water looking clear. still getting glass algae but doing cleaning every 3rd day now and was doing it every other day and not near as bad. Skimmer still going nuts some days and over flowing and over skimming and still below water line on skimmer.
