Update

After a incident with a UV sterilizer that turned my water black I lost a few fish. So after a few months I have finally got around to replacing some. My latest editions with pics to follow are:

Mottled Jawfish
6 Line wrasse
Cleaner Wrasse (which eats mysis)
Copperband Butterfly (which only eats mysis and not aptasia :noidea:)
Coral Banded Shrimp
Green Spotted Mandrin (star of the show, always out front showing off)

wow what happen with the uv sterilizer?

Well I got given a used sterilizer which I ran some water through for 15 mintues. Bought a Maxijet pump for it and put it in my tank... The next day I came home to find my tank VERY dark, when I pulled a sample of water it was as dark as when you rinse your carbon for the first time.

After a 50% water change, pulling the UV sterilizer, and adding lots of new carbon I ended up losing 5 fish but no coral. :sad::sad::sad:

hmmm thats strange. was the bulb cracked?

If I haven't already junked it I will open it up and check.

man, that sucks.....when did that happen??? I dont remember you mentioning that at the tank tour?

not an overly big fan of uv , i dont see the need and theres always stuff that goes wrong with them , why did you get one out of curiosity?? sorry to hear about your tank buddy glad all the corals came out ok:):)
