Successful reef tanks require a delicate balance and hard work to keep all their inhabitants healthy. A UV sterilizer may make it easier to keep your tank clean, but ease of use doesn't matter if it disrupts that crucial balance. A clear view of the risks and benefits will help you know if this type of filtration system is right for your tank.
How A UV Sterilizer Works
These filtration systems work by drawing up a small amount of tank water at a time, usually through a powerhead motor, and passing it over a UV bulb. The procedure kills fungi, algae, bacteria, parasites and sometimes viruses, depending on the strength of the bulb and the amount of time the water spends under UV light. Some UV systems claim to kill as much as 99 percent of the organisms that pass through them. The system can help hobbyists prevent disease and parasites in their tanks and get a handle on algae blooms.

Chinchillas are fascinating pets, and like most rodents, they are remarkably clever. Of course, being beautiful to behold, and soft as silk to the touch isn’t a good enough reason to keep chinchillas as pets. Fortunately, given a bit of space, plenty of love, a proper diet and following these tips will make it easy for you to keep your chinchillas happy and healthy for as long as they live (which can be up to 20 years).

As with most pets, there are a few key areas where their owners can focus for chinchilla health. When caring for and handling your pet, you should always keep these needs in mind.
Eating – Chinchillas have a special digestive system that allows them to pull the necessary fibre from their diet. In order to keep everything running smoothly, and to maintain excellent health, chinchillas need access to plenty of fresh Timothy Hay every day.

So you’ve decided to adopt rabbits. Congratulations on your new, furry family members. Rabbits are one of the most popular pets in South Africa.
Introducing Rabbits to the People and Pets in Your Life
Whenever you introduce new members to your family, you’ve got to be sensitive. It’s true for baby humans, old dogs and young bunnies. Remember that although you know and love all the people (and pets) in your family, they are all strangers to your new rabbits. And, as they are prey animals, rabbits are often afraid of the unknown.
Most adults have the patience to wait until the new rabbits hop over to say hello. However, some children may find it difficult to wait. When making introductions, ask your children to remain seated on the floor without making any startling movements until the new bunnies make the first move. Children must also be reminded to stroke rabbits slowly, not to pull on their ears, and to keep away from sharp rabbit teeth.
