| Golden Moray  | Re: UV on a REEF? Since I'm not sure when a potential pathogen may pass my UV bulb (inconsiderate of them not to schedule in advance) I run mine 24/7.

| Hey!Its not my fault   | Re: UV on a REEF? Well I didnt know what to check because I run mine 12 hours a day. I would run it 24/7 if It wasnt hooked up after my refugium.. I need the pods to get back to the main tank.
