It's my understanding that the UV light only kills what passes in front of the light so it shouldn't have any direct effect on the eggs because you don't want 24/7 exposure to the UV rays for the eggs or the parents HOWEVER, it does suggest that the water quality in the big tank was better possibly due to the UV and the plants which leads to my closing comment in the previous post.  Think in terms of the eggs in the cages not getting enough water flow by the parents and their inability to remove any dead eggs before they contaminate the rest. This means YOU have to do more of the parent's job while keeping the parents there and involved ( as best they can be) until the eggs hatch. That would mean either using a small internal filter (or power head) as I did or an airstone closer to the eggs.

Point taken, wise one. In the "big girl" the uv us mounted under the tank. Its 4ft long and resembles a bazooka. Both cannisters run the intake through it. So essentially ALL water that passes through the filter passes through the uv as well.

Bazooka? 4' is a baby.  I'm used to using 8'/ 6 bulb ( a. k.a. The CANNON) and 4'/ 10 bulb units ( a. k.a. The Gatling Gun). 
But seriously, the key is to make sure the water flow is slow enough in front of the bulb to kill off what passes in front of the bulb. If you run the water too quickly through the unit, you reduce it's effectiveness. Every unit should have a maximum flow rating and you would be wise to flow slower than that for better efficiency. In some cases, depending on your flow rate, it would be better to use a side flow through the UV rather than all the water going through the unit. It's not AS efficient but better at killing what goes through it.

Thanks guys, but thats the easy part. Next step is absorbing egg sac and attachment to parent.

Just came home to free swimming GBR fry, I'm stoked! I'm pretty sure raising these frisbees is a bit harder though right?
