What is a Clarifier? Used as a Clarifier the Classic 57 Watt, will control green water in a freshwater environment of up to 6,500 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.
