Will the number of fish I have affect the performance of MacCourt's Natural Pond Treatment?

Lawn ponds, patio ponds, goldfish ponds, waterfalls, plantai...
Absolutely! One of the biggest mistakes pond owners make is overstocking and overfeeding fish. A general rule of thumb in the pond industry is 1 inch of fish per 10 gallons. For example, only 1 koi or two 5-inch goldfish should be in a 100-gallon pond. We highly recommend using a filtration system with fish.

UV light is at a wavelength of 254nm (nanometers), and is not visible to the naked eye.

It depends on your application. If you desire a wider color gamut, dye-based inks are preferable but do not last as long as UV. UV ink images tend to be less crisp looking, however these inks do not fade as fast as dye, and when used with the appropriate media they also offer water resistance.

Why use a UV light product?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The two primary benefits to using UV light are disinfecting air and preventing growth of mold. The UV light radiates a surface to keep mold from growing in that area and disinfects the air stream as it passes through the HVAC system. In one pass over the UV bulb, a high disinfection rate is not normally accomplished in the air stream. With repeated circulation of air through the system, a major disinfection rate is accomplished, making use of UV light very positive.

Can I use UV light from the tanning equipment to sanitize the acrylic?

Wolff Tanning Beds
UVA and UVB, which come from your tanning equipment, have never been effective at sanitizing. UVC, which lamps are not designed to emit, is used as an effective germicide by other commercial industries. Even if your tanning equipment were effective at killing germs on the acrylic, you would still have to disinfect the acrylic between customers.
