I think the UV method holds a lot of promise. I am expecting a new bulb in a week or so. Meanwhile, I cleaned the piled up detritus from the LR section of my sump and other make cleaner stuff. Today was my 2nd. vodka dose. There is no question the skimmer output had increased. The only noticable change with the brown goop is that it seems to have slowed growth and the streamers are gone. It is obviously way too soon to form any conclusions. Efforts so far...new skimmer pump, housekeeping in sump, two bags of purigen, a fresh charge of Phosguard in the reactor and dosing vodka. Oh yeah.....crossed fingers.
