2025 UV Sterilizer Recommendations

[Arcane Corals]

I had to battle dinos in the past and ran UV to combat. I noticed my torches did so much better when I ran a UV sterilizer but it wasn't an ideal setup so I want to upgrade.

I plan to plumb directly into and out of the main display and horizontally mount on the wall slightly lower than the main tanks water line.

I have a 3 tank plumbed together setup with about 210 gallons of total water volume. What would be a good size/brand/model all-around UV sterilizer and adjustable pump nowadays?


I was initially thinking Aqua Ultraviolet 57 Watt + an AI Axis or something.

Thanks!

Aqua UV make good units, you could also look into Pentair.

I had an AquaUV, I now own a Pentair and like it better.

I used to use strictly Pentair until I had two units fail....started researching and found it to be a common issue. Here is a recent thread talking about it. I only use Aqua now.

Hello, UV has become very popular over the past few years with Pentair being one of the top brands. This thread pertains only to pentair but may include other brands** I have had two pentair 40 watt UV systems running for almost 3 years now. I recently was around my tanks in complete darkness...
