RE: In need of UV

["Simon, Dan" <dan.simon@pcgw.claircom.com>]

I actually have a new tank and it's apparently receiving afternoon sun while
I'm at work. I'm working on a screen, as opposed to attempting to alter the
earth's rotation)  I actually have a "vial" of resting rotifers from Florida
Aqua Farms that I have never used, I'll give that a try, good suggestion.

Thanks,

Dan
