UV - Pros and Cons - and what are the Dangers + Wavelengths

Note that this was written in 2004 but most of what is in the article is still applicable

You can however use LED lighting that is close to the UV wavelength and not really harm the corals or fishes, meaning LED's that may emit some 385-400 nm wavelength which is the upper scale of UV.  Going lower though is what will be detrimental
