I was looking for a UV Sterilizer solution for my Water Box 20 AIO when I found this on Amazon, and its working like a champ!
$18.99 for an 11 Watt UV Lamp with Lamp Shade and on-off timer that you can just drop into just about anywhere.... -Put the shade on the UV bulb and drop it in your AIO return section. Walla! Instant, cheap UV solution. The return section is the perfect place for the UV, 11 watts is plenty of algae & parasite killing power for any size nano and even larger tanks.... and the shade is a bonus if you have a light leak. In my Water Box 20 AIO the "sump area" glass is darkly tinted. Not light proof. But the shade worked perfectly to contain the UV light. I mated an air stone with mine to add aeration and ensure circulation of water around the lamp. Easy!
I imagine there are lots of uses for this UV in all sorts of filtration systems. Great little UV and I thought I would share. Mine is working like a champ:
