Re: [AGA Member] UV Sterilizers

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Some say photoreduction occurs, some say oxidation of iron.
I haven't seen anyone come up with any good evidience that
it causes any problems for an aquarium.

There is some hypothesizing that it will and some
counterhypotheses that it won't.  Evidence that it will,
I've been trying to find it for two years and haven't yet.

Let me know if you come up with naything solid against
them.
