What is a Sterilizer? A sterilizer will eliminate green water and control bacteria. The Classic 120 Watt, will sterilize up to 6,000 gallons of fresh water or 900 gallons of salt water.
What is a Clarifier? Used as a Clarifier the Classic 120 Watt, will control green water in a freshwater environment of up to 12,000 gallons that has 50% to 75% plant coverage and partial shade.
What works best for Marine Tanks? In marine fish tanks (No reef or live rock) a flow rate matching those shown in the 75,000 or 90,000 column will be most effective at controlling fish disease.
How do I size a UV for a Reef Tanks? In salt water reef environments choose a UV that matches your flow rate per hour in the 30,000 or 45,000 columns of our chart. Flow rates in the 75,000 and 90,000 columns will destroy the planktonic food supply for the reef.

So Far So Good

Comments: I purchased the 8 watt model for my 2 month old 100 gallon freshwater set-up. I was skeptical that 8 watts would be enough, but I went with the manufacturer recommendation. I'm good about maintenance so my water was pretty good, but after four days, I notice that it is clearer than ever. Also, I noticed that the water has stopped smelling. I had a slight sulfuric smell that I could not get rid off. But it seems to be gone. I also think it got rid of a moldy type film that kep coming back on some spots on the sand substrate. I think this was the cause of the smell, which was most noticeable during water changes. I'll give it a week or two to confirm. Fingers crossed... The only area for improvement I would say is to have a better system for hose connections. I'm a little paranoid of having a hose get disconnected, and getting 20 gallons of water on my floors...

Comments: Excellent product. It is a big piece of kit so be aware you'll need to make sure you have enough room under the tank to install it. The unit was undamaged in shipping which was great, so I could unbox and install within 24 hours. It's solidly made and very easy to assemble, but owner will need to purchase separate mounting equipment if they wish to hang or suspend it. There are plenty of cheaper models out there, but I chose this one for the ratings, the reputation for robust quality and the approximate bulb life which is 12-14 months of continuous operation. Some of the cheaper models the bulbs need to be replaced more often. It's been in operation for 72 hours now, no leaks! Definitely recommend it, unless you're not experienced of don't have a good amount of room under or near you tank.

Comments: Algae is 100% clear from all four 40 breeders. Works as described. Slight creep build up around wiper handle. wiper allows for much less maintenance, but I would prefer a unit without one after experiencing salt creep buildup at wiper knob area. I would recommend this to others.

Commercial Grade UV Sterilizer

Comments: I purchased the 57 watt, 3/4 inch unit for my 120 gallon marine aquarium and 40 gallon sump. Based on the reviews, I decided not to get the wiper because it seems to be prone to leaking. This is definitely commercial grade as far as quality goes and can easily be used for a public aquarium. I'm upgrading from a 36 watt turbo twist which leaked from day one. This unit is smaller than I had expected compared to the turbo twist. I paired the unit with a Mag 2 pump to make sure I get maximum kill rates and the water flow is still very fast passing through. It was easy to assembly and no leaking at all. The transformer gets warm to the touch but not hot. I can't comment on it's effectiveness because my water is already very clear. I like to use a UV as an insurance policy against disease and problem algae. This was worth the price.

Comments: My 160 gal. freshwater had been without a sterilizer for almost two months resulting in less than a clear view. Three days after (professional) install of the Aqua UV 25W 3/4" UV, the water returned to being crystal clear. Great product!

Comments: You always hear people saying you need this or you need that for your reef tank and it's hard to know who to believe. Trust me - YOU NEED A UV STERILIZER (and a chiller for that matter). This one was easy to install and my tank has never looked better. It was hard to tell the difference in the first couple days because our water has always been pretty clear, but every single day I come home I notice how good it looks, every day - consistently. That's the real difference.
