yep, very few people that are running UV run it appropriately to kill ich.

http://www.tmc-ltd.co.uk/data/bacteria.asp this gives kill rates. ich is 336,000 μw/cm². so with your unit the required flow is 107gph to kill ich.

at that rate it will not kill ich. it will only handle basic bacteria and algae. a general rule for UV to handle ich is 100gph per 40w. that puts your 25w in the range of 50-60gph to kill ich. i will post some links up when i get home on organisms required UV exposure.

i had a fish for 2 years that i only saw during tank transfers. this last transfer sadly i did not find him.

i doubt it would be an issue. those bulbs don't run very hot.

my CBB eats aiptasia like a fat kid on a cupcake. it does not touch any corals, however, it does eat tube/cocoa worms.

i run one. i still can't figure how the beneficial bacteria on my rock and sand are harmed by the UV, but that is what i keep hearing. IMO there are no cons. the water clarity is amazing, and i have ich free tangs. i like it.

i would do a 48" 8 bulb t5 personally. the overhang will be minimum. as mentioned before, you could also do 2 fixtures with 4 bulbs each sitting side by side.

cost and time my friend, cost and time.

haha, i saw this and wondered when the hell we decided to give another tank away. you can still joing SDMAS!

i like quickcure. it works great on just about any disease you put it up agains. it is a one week treatment. use it as directed, you need to do a daily 25% water change because you can not run filtratrion, so be prepared for that. best of luck.
