And yet I was reading an article in a magazine several months ago that using UV emiting bulbs may be the next frontier of reef keeping . I.E. the acros that are near the waters surface or even exposed during low tide and the relationship of the sun's effects.

Yes, I always thought it was. It came to mind when I seen you guys discussing uv, so had to go find it again. I have ran both ways. Like most, with no glass, using SE bulbs but I also ran my PFO pendants with the uv glass in and liked them that way also. I dont know what was loss in output, as I never measured.
