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.

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

Jason you can borrow my 80 watt sterilizer if you like should be more than enough for you tank. Though you would owe me a few ice cold rocheforts for the hassle of it all lol

Thanks to all that offered to loan me a UV. The support is very much appreciated. I was able to borrow a unit for Jim. Because he lives so close it made sense

Thanks Again
