anyone experianced UV leak into the tank
did anyone ever experienced uv leak from there DE HQI MH into there tank?
DE pendants always come with a UV shield glass to avoid UV hitting the coral, now, as I was waiting on an igniter for my ballast, e fellow reefer lend me a Coralife AquaLight Pro Metal Halide HQI Clamp-On Pendant. in fact it is a need little thing. the light coms with a 180 degree glass sleeve that you clamp on the bulb, functioning as a uv shield. but as it is not totally surrounding the bulb, I wonder if UV leaks by passing the glass sleeve, ore from light bouncing from the bulb to the reflector into the tank the light bulb is not shielded from the back, more ore les only from the front as a splash shield, meaning any light that spreads to the side and back, hitting the reflector is not UV filtered. now I have this light on part of my frag tank, and after about 5 days I noticed that the monty cap frags are all dying on that side, and my zoa frags on that side, hardly open up any experience with UV leak in the tank? I put the light out, and will put my ignite on my own pendant (that has a full UV shield) |
