Re: My killifish rack

UV Sterilizers are about the best shot we have available to help control
harmful organisms.
The type which tightly spirals a clear hose around the germicidal lamp
seems to keep the waterborne critters in close proximity to the lamp. 
The sterilizing effect is also 
beneficial prevent the spread of fungal diseases -  don't know if it
would cure any fungus type disease once established though.  It seems
that the most readily available replacement lamps are either 8 or 15 watt
so that seems to limit our choices of units.  The least costly units are
designed to treat household water supplies (mainly rural) and do a good
job of preventive bacterial blooms in holding tanks.
