Lots of times corals won't do well if you use UV, because they feed on the planktonic organisms living in the water column, but if you use coral food they should do okay.

biff is there any coral food that you can think of off the top of your head that youd recommend, im seriously considering using a UV because of all the money invested in fish and im tired of them dieing off

I've been using the zooplankton from Brightwell Aquatics for a while now along with their KoralKolor.
I've noticed that when I drop it in,all my corals go into feeding mode and they seem to brighten up in color.

I buy bottles of live phytoplankton from my LFS and a guy who cultivates it locally in town.

Reef Chili is also a good food.
