Hmm...I've been following this thread... Your argument is solid but
difficult to swallow. Experience is simply just that...people
will pay a lot of money for it unfortunately.

People are just people... :-)
Everybody makes mistakes... including me :-)))

I have seen some amazing reef tanks that do use UV..... and some that don't.
I don't like the idea of them myself.
I mean gamma radiation is sweet and all.
But I solve my problems other ways.
Besides I like keeping microbes in me water.
It's like another tank of millions more wacky things,
even if you can only see them under a microscope.
Whole dam food chain going on in there......
I like the idea of letting them chill, rather than fry and rot.
But yea once again just me, and I don't have a brand new UV on hand to
fiddle with.

gamma radiation is not the same as UVC.

Yea well they ain't xrays or cosmic rays either
they are UV
W00000t
sorry was jus goofin off.
they are death dealing rays all the same,
altho not enuf for you and too much for me.
I'd be happy to try build a suped up version, But I'm worried I'd hurt
someone like me.

The main difference is that UVC is CONTAINED IN THE LAMP
and does not radiate to the outside of the lamp...
Also, does not create radiation residue.
So I would not compare it even to gamma rays, which
would not be containted in a simple lamp made of PVC.
