Looking for UV suggestions for 13.5 gallon

[Thomas Jedlicka]

I am looking to add a uv sterilizer to my Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon. There are a lot of options but I dont want to spend $300 on a uv for this specific tank. I saw coralife does a small sterilizer does anybody have experience with that one or any suggestion? I dont have a problem with running an external unit for reference.

What do you have in your first overflow chamber...if you have room you could use a section of pvc capped on the bottom and place a uv light into it...drill holes in the bottom to get the flow rate you require past the lamp...

I’ve used the coralife mini model and it works great.

This works great, I have it in my EVO in chamber 2 flowing into chamber 3
