Hi all,
As you may remember I've just lost half my tank to Brookynella. My spirits have raised the last day or so and want to eventually get on building my tank back up (was going to e bay it all!).
The rest of my fish seem fine, look healthy and are feeding normally.
To reduce the risk of another outbreak I'm plannning a Q tank for the future (couple of difficulties) but was wondering whether it's worth running a UV in my main tank for a short while to kill off the parasite?
I've done some reading and come across conflicting reports of whether or not the UV will actually kill it? The UV units I've been looking at a quite pricey so don't want to waste my money.
Any experience out there?
Thanks.
