It also amazes me how many so called scientific
studies are so poorly done. They use big words, they
strut their stuff, but make too may assumptions, and
build their tests on unproven material.

I am not saying all scientific tests are well done...

I am just saying that keeping tanks for 25 years
does not prevent you from believing in MYTHS
which you cultivate with not scientific background..

Let me give you an example:
My 30 years of experience tell me that using cotton
briefs protects my ass from being bitten by a tiger.
The proof I can offer you is that for the last 30 years
of wearing my cotton briefs I was not even a single time
bitten by a tiger = white cotton briefs protected me :-)))

I hope you will understand what I am talking about.

What do you know about life cycle of the parasite
causing ich in marine fish? What kind of organism
is it? Is it prothosoan? Is is crustacian?
How strong UV exposure is REQUIRED to kill it ?
How strong UV exposure is REQUIRED to destroy
its reproductive systems ?
Is your UV lamp used the way you can guarantee
this kind of exposure time giving proper UV dosage?

You can keep fish tanks for 25 years and do not know
enough about biology, chemistry or physics to make
statement about this subject.

:-) so.... I am still waiting for a description of
scientific method used to determine influence
of UV lamp (which kind?) on ich in marine fish :-)
