Reef Gods have smiled...now help me decide

I removed the UV from my system 2 years ago, still have yet to notice a difference.. I would go for the powerhead.

Yeah, he had it before and I know UV won't cure it- I will step up my feedings. Its just funny that it happened right after I removed the UV
 
there is also a "vitamin deficiency" that looks like the early stages of ICH.. do you have algae on a clip available?

Yes, algae on the clip - I used to keep it stocked every day. I stopped when my nitrate/phosphate spiked. I need to ramp it up as well. When I get back in town I'm gonna grab some vita chem too. I used to use it every week but slacked off on that too
 
who can recommend a good uv with a min flow rate of 240 GPH (1x system volume from what I read)

how is this one?

I cant afford the 2nd one but when i can id like to narrow it down
 
I ended up going the UV route because I got a great deal on an Aqua 114 watt UV from a guy. Needs new sleeves (he broke em trying to check for breakage :doh:) and 1 new bulb...

He wanted $350 but we settled on $275 then he broke the sleeves which made it $250. l will put about $150 into it so Im all in at $400 in which was around my original budget for a UV......but I got a $739 UV.

Is there a better place to order my Aqua UV parts from? Marine Depot is where im going and they have 10% off UV products this month but didnt know if there was a better place. $57 for 57 w bulbs and $46 for sleeves at marine depot..plus 10% off

The guy was real nice and i felt bad he broke the sleeves - if yer reading this, thanks a bunch
