Best Small UV

[Pi-314]

Looking to purchase a small UV filter that will ideally fit in the back of an AIO sump. Tank is 26 gallon peninsula with approximately 23 gallons of actual water volume.

Thanks for the help!

Yes. But was hoping there is one out there that includes a built in pump. I am thinking something completely self contained so all i have to do is drop it in a plug in.

Amazon manufacturer Geek cheap as dirt Should be good for you 24 gallons a day. I use one on my Rodi. Noticeable difference. Planning on using one on my new 75. They make larger ones as well. The ones you will find marketed as for Aquariums are hugely expensive, and on average the replacement bulbs are about three times the cost of the entire geek unit. You can also buy replacement bulbs for it on Amazon. I cannot find a replacement quartz sleeve but why worry one would be more than a new unit

Good luck with that most are made for drinking water and use line pressure. There is one called the green Machine. I do not recommend it or others like it the lights seem to fail very quickly and cannot be replaced. I have a submersible water clarifier made by Marineland. Also on Amazon. Worth a look I don't know why you want a UV maybe this will serve the purpose. Keeps my water beauty clean is multi functionable $170 Canadian for me so what 90 for you? Worth a look I am going to run both

Hi i would appreciate you answering back if you find anything. Another thing I read that factors in is the Gallons per Day. For Algae it should be150- 225 for parasites 25-75 the wattage is a factor in this. Any UV worth looking at states those figures I have found. I hope you find one that includes a pump. It would be ideal. I have yet to do that.

I appreciate all the replies! I ended up going with the one pasted below. Far from ideal and undersized but hoping it will help knock back some dinos. It was super easy to install and replaced my filer sock. I throttled back my return to increase the contact time.
