Well this sucks, not the kind of update I was looking for... I am very sorry you’re dealing with such a nightmare Peter. Is there anyplace near you that could perform an autopsy on one of the deceased for you?

I don't. It's my opinion that you'd be better off running a good ozone system through your skimmer if you are trying to sterilize your water.
My understanding of uv ( admittedly limited) is that they require a lot of maintenance to function properly, cleaning bulbs and replacing bulbs at the appropriate intervals.
That may be outdated, but it's my understanding currently.
Agreed, I don't run it at the moment, but am considering it in the future. I think there are some really good controllers out there now. :bounce1:
My three year old wanted me to add, "the blue jumping thing" in my note.

Sorry for the losses Peter! For what it is worth I run a UV to help clear my water, and to hopefully control any organism passed into my DT despite the use of cupramine and prazi.

Hey Peter, had a quick question for you.
I assume you've still got your rock beauty. I'm considering picking one up in the near future. I've heard its a fish that struggles in captivity long term. Do you feed your anything with sponges specifically?
Do you think it's a fish that could be paired easily?

That's what I wanted to hear. I'm still on the fence about picking one or two up. I'm going to wait until Monday to see if there is anything new on the list before I order.
Glad to hear she's doing well, I can't get over their eye color. Hope all is quiet in your corner of the ocean.
