I believe all antibiotics are degraded by exposure to UV light, as are chelated coppers.

BTW thanks again for those frags :)

Most organic chems such as trichlorifon degrade rapidly with exposure to light, the UV component. I think malachite green is one of the few that is not affected. Formalin is also very stable in the prescence of light, if I recall correctly.
