uv sterilizer

Brand new UV, realized it was a bit overkill for my system and never bothered to set it up. Lmk if you have any questions! Thanks for looking!

I’m selling my Lifeguard Pro-MAX R450109 120W High Output UV Sterilizer. I have owned Emperor Aquatics (now Pentair) UV sterilizers through the years and these are every bit as good. This sterilizer is built like a tank and performs amazingly well. The power supply has a countdown timer that...

Question for this running a Pentair 40w sterilizer AND running it for algea and bacteria purposes. What pump are you using to get the recommended 943gph to 1574gph? I'm running a pump that's rated for 2700gph, but between the head preasure and five 90° elbows I'm only getting 454gph at 100%...

Hello, recently purchased what is described above. I am going to have this mounted some what over the fuge/sump in case of any leaks (I don’t like closed loop systems tbh) Anyways, the return from uv to system, do you usually have that dump into return area from fuge to DT or do you plumb it...

Hello all, I’ve been having trouble with algae blooms during the day when my lights turn on and I have a UV sterilizer that was part of a yard sale bundle I got a few years back. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before and if it’s reef safe. My main concern is nitrifying bacteria but...

Hey Guys, Just wondering what everyones thoughts are regarding the Aqua Ultraviolet twist vs the Pentair UV steriliser. Im new to the hobby and in the process of cycling my aquarium. I had Ich run through my Nano reef tank before I even got to the point of adding coral and I'm intent on doing...

I just got this 27W sterilizer. I have it mounted with the clips. The problem is the manufacturer says to mount it with the inlet/outlet point straight up. The clips are poorly made and do not securely tighten the UV sterilizer, it kind of rests on them. So I need some help here: 1. Can I...

I'm planning on plumbing a UV sterilizer and algae scrubber together. The reason for this is that I have little room in my sump area to put the algae scrubber or the sterilizer. I'm going to run piping out of the sump, through the wall behind the tank and into the garage. There, I will run...

I am thinking about getting a UV Sterilizer for my Waterbox AIO 50.3. Should I do it and if yes, what would be a good UV Sterilizer for the AIO?

Hello Reefers. I have a Red Sea 425 XL 112 gallons total. Finally decided that I’m going to install a UV sterilizer for the purpose of keeping bacteria and parasites on the lower sides. I was thinking about getting an Aquatop E18. Wattage is 18 and it endorses that it can handle up to about...

Does anyone run the GKM UV sterlizer in a biocube 16 or 32? Where did you put it? I want to run the one with its own pump not the powerhead one.

Does anyone know of a UV sterilizer that will work for a biocube 16? I have been using the coralife one and it’s a piece of ****. The one on my 32 gallon works fine. This one keeps blowing bulbs or just not lighting period. Coralife even sent me a new bulb and nothing.

Evening, I am currently setting up my Cade 1200 (135g Total) Mixed Aqua Cultured Reef with SPS focus and I am shopping around for a UV setup. I would like to tackle parasites mostly but have the ability with a DC pump to hit algae if needed. See my signature for the build. I've seen all the...

So I have two of these on my two biocubes. How the hell do I make them stay lit? The one on my 32 gallon has been going for months no problem after I replaced an initslly bad bulb. The one on my 16 just went out and I know the bulb is fine but I can’t get it lit again. Is there something I’m not...

I recently upgraded to WB 180.5 from 75g bow-front tank. The 75g build included a 9w Coralife Turbo-Twist UV sterilizer that served me well. Now I have upgraded to 130g and added a 36w Turbo-twist 12X for larger volume. I set the 12x flow rate at just over 300gph to deal with Parasites, so far...

As the title says, I'm looking for an Aqua 25w UV Sterilizer if anyone has one available.

Selling my Aqua Ultraviolet UV Sterilizer, 15 watt. Works perfectly, and has about 5 months remaining on the bulb life. $300 new, I'm selling for $200. Local pickup preferred. If interested in shipping, $220. No box or instructions, but includes everything else, including the barb fittings. I...

Hello, I have a 100 gallon DT, 34 gallon sump.. about 100 gallons total water volume I think. I am running an AquaUltraviolet UV sterilizer, 15 watts. I know, low side. Does anyone know what the GPH should be for parasites? Measuring with a gallon BRS jug, I was at 64gph, and I just raised it...

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...
