Here are a couple shots of fungus/bacteria on eggs before the MarOxy:
 
This one is totally covered, giving the egg a red look to it:

Here is one that has some on it (looks like hair/scab almost):

 
And here is what eggs look like right after (~1 hour) past spawn - note they are even being attacked while dividing under microscope:

 
Here is an infertile egg 12+ hours with the 1.5ml dose of MarOxy 30 minute bath.  Infertile, but note edges of egg - still perfectly smooth:

 
And here's an egg thats still developing after MarOxy (at least I hope it still is!):

 
So while I may have gone heavy on the dosage, at least I know the 1.5ml / 8oz bath for 30 minutes kills the bacteria/fungus!

Any improvement with the UV?
How many hrs after do things start to look wrong?
You ever had prolarvae hatched?

Just a quick update, sorry I'm pretty terrible at following my own journals.
 

 
A bigger shot of the new tank:

Sorry for not answering your question Luis till now!  UV doesn't really seem to do much - the dipping in hydrogen peroxide and or Maroxy seems to have more effect than the UV.  Depending on temp the eggs are hatching roughly 64 - 68 hour mark.  Once I move into a bigger house I plan on setting up some dedicated larval tanks.  I just don't have the room right now.
