I bought a flame angel on impulse from LFS about a month ago. I don't use QT on fish, so putting them into tank can be a risk and since he had only been at the fish store for a few days this was a risk--definitely one I shouldn't have taken.
Long story short, fish had some type of parasite and after he died, fish in my tank started to drop like flies.
Well, looks like I'm just about out of fish (have a chromis, damsel, six line wrassed and a Foxface currently in a small tank dosing with copper, but I don't think he'll make it). I lost a clown, trigger, royal gram, and a few others.
Questions is can I run a UV sterilizer (which I don't currently own) to kill of any remaining parasite that may be in the tank?
I'm looking into purchasing one either on this site or Craigslist. Just would like a little advice as to how effective they are.
thnks for any pointers/info...
