Hey all, still new to reefing and just had significant event of ick and/or velvet wiping out half my tank and new tangs and clowns I had for over a year. So I am trying to go on the offensive and am considering a few things. I have 225 gal tank and Trigger Systems 44 sump (may have to make modifications in it to fit roller better). I am looking at nutrient control and ick and parasite control. In researching I came across UV filters but I understand you need to use for algae/ick or parasites. Am thinking the Aqua UV 57watt. Also, I have cheat with cheap light and it is not growing or dying. Thinking Kessil H80 or H160. Would H160 be overkill? Would H80 be enough for about a 20"x20' area? Lastly, tired of filter socks and looking at the fleece rollers. Most likely the Clarisea SK-5000.
Is this too much to use at the same time? I just hate losing fish (my wife even more-so; and I have learned the value of QT tank) and I am trying to reduce maintenance.
