Are you running your UV while using Reef-resh?

My SPS are growing slowly but still do not extend their polyps during the day. I am going to stop using it fpr now. Anyone else changed their minds?
I never noticed any difference in the corals when i used it . I still have half full containers that have been sitting in my fridge for the last year

I hate to say it, but same goes for me. I went through almost 2 complete cycles of Reef-Resh with my 180g tank and I never noticed much difference before/during/after. Ohwell...

looks like you are running UV with it ..
Ozone and or UV will kill most of the bacterial culture you know..

I did run my UV sterilizer while running the Reef-resh. I did as much research as possible before using the product and could not find any info suggesting to d/c the uv sterilizer. I will try without the UV and see if there is any difference.
