Ultavoliet Lights - how necessary?
Do I really need an 18w CSL Ultavoliet light for my 110 gal. reef, which is having a hair algae problem?

YOu don't need a UV and it has nothing to do with your hair algae. Buy a tang or a whole lot of hermit crabs. Purple tangs are good for algae control and are hardy if properly cared for (I've had mine for 3.5 years now) and eat lots and lots of algae.
