I am about to dose my tank with Levamisole but I have a UVS running.

Will the UVS affect the levamisole?

Thanks,
Dave.

ultraviloet light will damage to varying degree's most things

think sunburn
levamisol as a solution is relatively stable approx a week in neutral pH under normal lighting at ambient room temp(25 celsius)

i dont personally know how much levamisol is affected by UV
though in general the rule for medicating is to turn off any UV appliances, so i would advise the 24 hr treatment period with the lamp turned off
