Re: Oldsaint's 260g mixed reef

Can't believe I missed this thread The tank looks fantastic, how many watts is the UV, 120 ? Do you use it 24/7 ?

Re: Oldsaint's 260g mixed reef

Thanks cheeks69,
Yes, 3-40 watts Gammas, 120 total. I was running them 24/7 but about 3 weeks ago I cracked 2 of the glass sleeves when I was changing the bulbs. I just got them in last week but haven't installed them. So it's been running without any UV for almost 4 weeks and I haven't seen a change.
The tank was originally going to be a heavily loaded aggressive FO tank but when the rock started to purple up it was hard not to go reef. Plus, I've got about 4 different Zoa's, 3 different polyps and a few encrusting monit's that survived the curing process.
Again, Thanks everyone for the compliments.
