In my online research and SEO work the other day I came across a new article from about.com.
In this article of theirs they laid out some of the anecdotal arguments that have been around for the last 30 years, despite years of good research refuting such comments.
Please see this Fish as Pets article refuting this about.com post/article:
Fish as Pets; Hall of Shame #5; UV Sterilizers
This Hall of Shame series was inspired by a friend (Tommy) who I met at another aquatic forum who helped me much with SEO, web design, & other technical issues. He was disgusted by all the bull he found on the internet, especially in forums and blogs and suggested that I start this series to refute these posts.
Unfortunately a job change required him to move and give up his aquariums.
About.com is unfortunately one of the worst sources for poor quality aquatic information, although they may have some good information, it seems to be purely by accident as I (& others) even wrote them about an article dealing with detritus worms where they were calling them planaria (a quite different creature that indicates different water conditions) with evidence to refute this, and they refused to correct this.
