We are using CP to treat for Ich and are aware that UV breaks down the CP. My question is - How much light is too much? If I turn all of the UV led's off, can I turn the rest up since they do not produce any UV light? We are dosing in the DT as it is a 300g FOWLR and not practical for removing all fish from DT. We have a good sized QT system (2 x 55g and 2x 40g), but not sizable for all of the fish in the tank. We plan on continuing the treatment for 72+ days to ensure the eradication of all stages of the Ich.

they say using just standard cfl for lighting during the treatment. I don't know how fast it breaks down. I've used it with a regular CFL and it seems to work.
