Couple of options but a UV will not solve your problem. Proper QT tank and treatment of choice will be the best way to get rid of ich. Options and good article below: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/fish-diseases-treatments/23132-marine-ich-myths-facts.html Good luck!

Yes, placing them in your tank is sufficient. Running it would be fine as well. The key is to leave it in there for a long period of time to let the bacteria grow. And no need to run carbon. in qt tank. Good job in planning ahead!

Very nice and clean. Good job!

What do you mean by... "is this ich again"? If you've had ich in the past and did not properly treat it, it is most likely the same ich. The tang picture really looks like ich. Good link below as an FYI: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/fish-diseases-treatments/23132-marine-ich-myths-facts.html Good luck and hope they make it out.

looking for a needlewheel type pump like: aquabee, sicce, sedra, octopus turbine pump or similar. PM me on what you've got.

ahh makes sense. Might do that as well.

Nice work Rick and great pics. My ph is also around 7.8. What does moving the skimmer airline outside do?

ttt please!

Rick, it was a pleasure meeting you the other night. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see the finished product.

LMK... if you get to him!

nice pix by the way!

sounds like a lot of progress for 1 day. good job. LMK if you decide to part with the clowns as I have a small frag tank for them.

Nice dimensions. I always loved deep tanks but my short arms never reached the bottom.

Glad that it worked out for you.

New tank has fully cycled and was looking for some new fishies. Most interested in show size fish like 5"+. Triggers, puffers, tangs, angels etc... If you have any for sale please send me a PM. TIA Jay

I agree with most of the cons thats been listed. Not sure if its been mentioned but I also think resale value of the tank should be considered. Once you have a tank custom made or drilled for a CL I believe it lowers the resale value of the tank. Since most people don't want a CL system.

I'll take the 2 t5 reflectors (standard sunlight supply ones). But would need to meet you in the vancouver/portland area. At your convenience of course and no rush on my end. LMK

I too wanted to go with an aggressive tank setup this time around, but after seeing nice setups with colorful corals I'm most likely going softies w/ lots of fish. I would opt away from a closed loop system as well. There are so many options to get internal flow going and you can add/remove/move at anytime. Just my 2 cents.

The pleasure was mine and thanks for the corals. They seem to be doing great. I'll have to hit you up next week sometime for those hard coral frags. My nano should be ready this weekend.

Thanks again!

nice little pico tank. What kind of lighting are you using?

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! BTW: The main stand legs are 2x6s totaling of 8 legs. Plus a pair of 2x4s and a center 2x6. So support should not be an issue.
