LF Large UV sterilizer to borrow or rent GVRD
Does anyone have a UV I can borrow or rent. I know I should probable buy one but I need to test a theory before I buy.
I'm willing to rent it or what ever the owner wants Thanks Jason |

So what theory do you want to test? I've got a 40 W Aqua Ultraviolet but I am too afraid of the potential consequences if I stop using it. Mine came with my setup otherwise I probably would never have bought it on my own but my tank certainly seems clear, algae and Ich free with it.

Well I believe that I have a bacteria based pathogen in my system that is killing my corals. I'd like to borrow a UV to see if I can kill the bacteria.

Sorry to hear that. I don't know if I am close enough or my UV is big enough to help you but I would lend it out to save some coral. I really do like this aqua Uv if you want to just buy one, other than the cost I don't see any real downside.

Also explains why iodine based dips are sometimes effective.

FWIW ... I had this theory as well. I'm running a 57w AquaUV on my 110g .. and while I now have a test frag that has survived, it took several months (2 maybe even 3) before test frags stopped dieing. I think if you have this, you need as big as you can stomach.
I do think it made a difference though. My test frag has lasted about 3 months now. It's too bad I lost everything else though. (SPS only mind you). I'm now so soured on SPS I don't know about going back into it. So ... I don't envy your position at all. Hope you find the cause and turn it around quickly. In hindsight I might have been better off doing a tank reset..

Thanks Tony, Funny thing is some of my SPS are unaffected while other are a total write off. Even my LPS are being effected and do not extend their polyps.
I think Tom's will do the trick and if so I might invest in one. J |

I have a new 40w you can use with Toms if needed. Im not sure Toms alone would be enough for your water volume.
