uv sterilizer

I’m thinking of getting a UV sterilizer for my next build and I’m not sure the one I’m looking at will fit inside the stand with the sump so I was thinking of mounting it behind the tank. Has anyone else mounted it like this? I’d love to see how you did your plumbing for it.

Hey Fellow Reefers, I just bought a new oversized UV Sterilizer (40 Watt - Able to handle 350 Gal Systems). I wanted to oversize it becuase I plan on doing a big upgrade later down the road. Current system specs are in the signature down below. I want to run it at 1800 gph. Question: - Does...

Green killing machine is low end UV unit , did anyone have success using this to beet dinos ?. Few users report using this unit in the main dino thread and but did not report back. Any reviews is appreciated

I am doing my sump plumbing and was hoping that someone with a Pentair 40w Smart UV sterilizer could tell me the measurement from the center of the input to the center of the output. I have been searching for days for this measurement and there is nothing online or on their website. My tank just...

Hello, Is running : - a macro algae reactor - a becket skimmer - a UV sterilzer - roller mat too much filtration ? tank is a 75g and will have about 8 fish. With rock and sand and some bio media in the sump.

Alright, so I have parasite outbreaks like ich. I am wondering what is the best way to setup a medicine/quarantine tank. I got a Fluval over the back filter and took the carbon out and instead put in zeolite for the ammonia. I also have a heater and airstone. Does the tank itself need to cycle...

Hi All, My 20 Gallon JBJ AIO has been set up for around 2 months now and its starting to house a decent amount of coral / livestock. Just recently I have noticed that my water looks a tad cloudy (not bad at all) and I was wondering if there was something I could do about it. I have been...

Lifegard 3” 55w high output amalgam rated per the website 9000 hours lamp life, got the UV in late December and have been running it since. I started breaking down my equipment to make a tank transfer and came across a burnt out bulb.... Just a psa for anyone else running the same unit. o_O

I'm currently working on getting a 165 gallon tank set up and am trying to do as much as I can to get it running smoothly now, rather than trying to catch up later. I'm not extremely familiar with UV sterilizers but I've yet to find anything about using 2 different ones to cover the...

Hey everyone need help with UV flow rate because I know it’s vital for actually being affective. Currently I have a 9 gallon tank and bought and 8watt UV sterilizer. (Aqua brand) At what flow rate should my pump be? I don’t wanna go to fast but don’t understand the math for it

Hey guys, so I know very little on UV Filters and was recommended to using one to help combat my cyano problem. I'm not too sure what they do other than it killing algae/bacteria that passes through it. Are there pros and cons to them? Will I have to feed more to keep nutrient up or anything...

I've been battling Dinoflagellates for months now and I've had enough. I already tried a blackout and that kept them at bay for 2 weeks but they came back eventually, I've tried increasing nutrients and that hasn't changed a thing, so I've given in and decided to plumb in a UV Sterilizer. I'm...

Hey, long time member but I never felt I hand anything that I was particularly proud of. I've kept the same Biocube 32 for 9 years with success, but I never was able to do more with it due to the size limitations of the tank. Back in late Jan, I got the go-ahead to upgrade the tank, I still...

Hey all so I’m doing a closed loop system for my new UV light. I need to put a pump in my 125 gallon DT. The pump is 8.2”x3.5”x4.13” I need to use that to feed the UV sterilizer then it’ll flow back into the tank. Has anyone had any success hiding/aquascaping this kind of item within your DT...

Ok all I need help trying to find a submersible pump that isn’t overly large but strong enough for at least 2100 GPH.

TMC Vecton 600 UV Sterilizer 25 Watt and rated for up to 180-500 gallons. Used for about 3 months to fight ich and no longer need it. $120 shipped.

I recently picked up an Aqua UV 57w unit used...couldn't pass up the price, even though it is a bit big for my system (75g tank, approx. 100g total). I will eventually hook this up in my sump for regular use, but initially will be using it to clear out some dinos in my main tank. In order to...
