jamal March 28, 2007 Share March 28, 2007 it does kill some beneficial bacteria as well as bad. thats the only thing i guess. but i run mine all day everyday with no noticeable issues. the bacteria will grow back and the benefits far outweigh the killng of a few good men (collateral damage and to the electric bill.

Gatortailale March 29, 2007 Share March 29, 2007 I run it 24/7/365. Been using it for a year - no negative results. Only positive - healthy fish and clear water. After talking with a good friend and fellow club member who has had a successful tank for over 10+ years and runs a 40w 24/7, I took his advice and all I can say is my new system sure is chipper. cons - just like anything else in this hobby, their are those that say it can be done, and those that say it can't - (barebottom vs. DSB) . . . list goes on and on.
