uv sterilizer

Hello everyone, just set my new aquarium on its stand and I'm starting to rough out a plumbing design. We've just received a Planet 310 that I'd added a couple of extra holes for 1" bulkheads in the back glass to feed a closed loop UV system. I've got a Aqua UV Classic 80 watt unit that was...

Hi Everyone! I could use some clarification on Sumps. There’s a lot of info online, and I’ve already been steered towards resources like the BRS weeks of reefing, but I have not yet found any resources to definitively answer the gaps in my knowledge, only supporting info on related topics. I’m...

I’m in the process of mapping out the plumbing for a Pentair 25W UV. I believe the best approach here is to install a ball valve (Cepex) both before AND after the UV, both to control the flow as well as to be able to fully isolate the UV from water for maintenance purposes. Is this correct? I...

Aqua Ultraviolet 25 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, Black Body Condition: Brand new in box Price: Retails at $402, but selling for $315 Will ship: Yes at buyer's expense I was going to use the AquaUV 25watt sterilizer, but I am going with a larger 57watt version. I bought it as an open box item...

I am looking to buy a UV Sterilizer for parasite control. I have learned if you don't get the right exposure to flow right you won't be doing much. I read numerous blogs suggesting the TMC Vecton is good. I would like the 400 model but am having a hard time finding it. Does anyone know of a...

NEW Aqua UV Classic 25watt sterilizer. Box opened but never installed nor used. Includes separately purchased mounting bracket. Asking $300 picked up locally in Seattle area / will ship at cost Thanks for looking

I have a like new Pentair 80w UV . In excellent condition, will come with plumbing as I had it, all items as new, and a wall mount kit. Works great and huge discount from new! Will ship for a fee, would prefer local as it's so big. Still have the original box.

Hey Reefer Friends! I'm a little stuck... just ordered a Pentair 40W UV Sterilizer for my Waterbox 220.6. I'm stumped on the best way to plumb it - it's too big to fit under the tank, so I'll likely mount it vertically next to the tank. Do I run it through one of the manifolds on the sump and...

Brand new UV, realized it was a bit overkill for my system and never bothered to set it up. Lmk if you have any questions! Thanks for looking!

I’m selling my Lifeguard Pro-MAX R450109 120W High Output UV Sterilizer. I have owned Emperor Aquatics (now Pentair) UV sterilizers through the years and these are every bit as good. This sterilizer is built like a tank and performs amazingly well. The power supply has a countdown timer that...

Question for this running a Pentair 40w sterilizer AND running it for algea and bacteria purposes. What pump are you using to get the recommended 943gph to 1574gph? I'm running a pump that's rated for 2700gph, but between the head preasure and five 90° elbows I'm only getting 454gph at 100%...

Hello, recently purchased what is described above. I am going to have this mounted some what over the fuge/sump in case of any leaks (I don’t like closed loop systems tbh) Anyways, the return from uv to system, do you usually have that dump into return area from fuge to DT or do you plumb it...

Hello all, I’ve been having trouble with algae blooms during the day when my lights turn on and I have a UV sterilizer that was part of a yard sale bundle I got a few years back. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before and if it’s reef safe. My main concern is nitrifying bacteria but...

Hey Guys, Just wondering what everyones thoughts are regarding the Aqua Ultraviolet twist vs the Pentair UV steriliser. Im new to the hobby and in the process of cycling my aquarium. I had Ich run through my Nano reef tank before I even got to the point of adding coral and I'm intent on doing...

I just got this 27W sterilizer. I have it mounted with the clips. The problem is the manufacturer says to mount it with the inlet/outlet point straight up. The clips are poorly made and do not securely tighten the UV sterilizer, it kind of rests on them. So I need some help here: 1. Can I...

I'm planning on plumbing a UV sterilizer and algae scrubber together. The reason for this is that I have little room in my sump area to put the algae scrubber or the sterilizer. I'm going to run piping out of the sump, through the wall behind the tank and into the garage. There, I will run...

I am thinking about getting a UV Sterilizer for my Waterbox AIO 50.3. Should I do it and if yes, what would be a good UV Sterilizer for the AIO?

Hello Reefers. I have a Red Sea 425 XL 112 gallons total. Finally decided that I’m going to install a UV sterilizer for the purpose of keeping bacteria and parasites on the lower sides. I was thinking about getting an Aquatop E18. Wattage is 18 and it endorses that it can handle up to about...

Starting a space to share my journey filling my new waterbox with mixed reef corals. Current equipment: - Echotech Vectra S2 DC Return Pump, Mobius controlled - 2x AI Nero 5 Powerhead - Deep Blue 9V UV Sterilizer - IOAOI DC210 Protein Skimmer - 200W Eheim Heater - Kessil AP9X LED Lights - BRS...

Does anyone run the GKM UV sterlizer in a biocube 16 or 32? Where did you put it? I want to run the one with its own pump not the powerhead one.

Does anyone know of a UV sterilizer that will work for a biocube 16? I have been using the coralife one and it’s a piece of ****. The one on my 32 gallon works fine. This one keeps blowing bulbs or just not lighting period. Coralife even sent me a new bulb and nothing.

Evening, I am currently setting up my Cade 1200 (135g Total) Mixed Aqua Cultured Reef with SPS focus and I am shopping around for a UV setup. I would like to tackle parasites mostly but have the ability with a DC pump to hit algae if needed. See my signature for the build. I've seen all the...

So I have two of these on my two biocubes. How the hell do I make them stay lit? The one on my 32 gallon has been going for months no problem after I replaced an initslly bad bulb. The one on my 16 just went out and I know the bulb is fine but I can’t get it lit again. Is there something I’m not...

I recently upgraded to WB 180.5 from 75g bow-front tank. The 75g build included a 9w Coralife Turbo-Twist UV sterilizer that served me well. Now I have upgraded to 130g and added a 36w Turbo-twist 12X for larger volume. I set the 12x flow rate at just over 300gph to deal with Parasites, so far...

As the title says, I'm looking for an Aqua 25w UV Sterilizer if anyone has one available.
