Thats no different than using ozone though and actually ozone should be way more efficient than UV. I could give it a shot (and thanks for the thought) but with ozone already running, I don't really see the point. I do think ozone is the reason the ich is not as bad as it could be. The problem with both ozone and UV is that ich is that they both only kill what passes through them and Ich does not stay in its free swimming stage very long.
It may be worth a shot though. It can't hurt anything. But if I do decide to keep this tank up, I am going to just go ahead and QT them once again. Maybe for 10 weeks this time! Apparently 8 was not enough
