This has to be ich. These little parasites are sitting on my live rock. Have no fish in my tank other than my porcupine puffer a snowflake eel and some inverts. Puffer is immune to the ich so is the eel.
Plumbing is not my forte, but I have a Coralife Turbo Twist 12X (36 watt) that I need to run on my new IM Nuvo 170. I have an Echo Tech Vectra S2 that I'm not currently using. Could I use this Vectra to run just the UV? I was hoping to plumb it using just flexible tubing. Is this possible or is...
Hey Folks - question - Do all of you run UV serilizer all the time ? or 50% of day or 25% of the day is good for a stable system once you have clarified ?
Also is UV required if you are already using Ozone ?
My only concern is due to heat and energy wastage.
Hey guys! I’m thinking of adding a UV sterilizer to my tank soon, have heard great things about it also heard a few people say it’s a waste of money. But I’ve looked into one from BRS and with a DC pump as recommended by someone on here I think it’s good to have. I also spoke to a guy who has...
I finally beat Dinos - hopefully, for good this time. After trying several methods from raising nutrients, chemical treatments, and water changes I invested in a UV sterilizer. I was a bit hesitant investing in equipment and was ready to scrap the project and start fresh - thank goodness I...
Hello! I am looking for a UV Sterilizer to clear up one of my tanks that has a bit of a bacterial bloom. If anybody has one that they are willing to sell and aren't asking close to retail price like most people on here please let me know!!
Hi guys! I know the title sounds ridiculous, why would you run a uv sterilizer on a mixing station? Long story short my step dad has had some health issues in the past which had led him to using a CPAP machine. With a CPAP machine you need to use distilled water due to the fact that it has no...
I have a Pro Clear 230 I am currently building and in the final steps before cycling. I know a sterilizer is useless during cycling and don’t plan on using one until later on but I wanted to go ahead and do my research and narrow down which one to get. I have been looking at the Aqua UV and the...
Was curious if this AuqaShield 9 Watt UV Sterilizer fits inside a WB 10 cube where the sock would be - if not what is being used instead and where was it placed?
thanks!
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...

My Coralife UV Sterilizer Bulb keeps burning out in my BioCube 29. This is my 3rd bulb in (3) months? Is this a normal thing? Has anybody else had an experience with a Coralife UV Sterilizer?
