A week after installing this the dinos that showed up had all but vanished. After a month, I have yet to have any significant return.
Was able to plumb in return line and love the dual barbs instead of the HOB.
Other benefits I've noticed include less algae on glass, and a new level of crystal clear water, increased redox as well.
Recommend sizing carefully, with a smaller tank and variable speed pump it should be practical to have one UV filter do both algae/bacteria and protozoa.
The Advantage Series is ideal for small ponds, aquariums, and water features. Advantage UV’s are slim, lightweight units designed for maximum UV effectiveness. Aqua Ultraviolet UV’s will clear your water in 3 to 5 days sometimes overnight and keep it that way. Performance is guaranteed when sized, installed and operated according to our instructions.
Why Aqua Ultravoilet is different:
What is a Sterilizer?
A sterilizer will eliminate green water and control bacteria. The Advantage 2000+, 15 Watt, will sterilize up to 500 gallons of fresh water or 75 gallons of salt water.
What is a Clarifier?
Used as a Clarifier the Advantage 2000+, 15 Watt will control green water in a freshwater environment of up to 2000 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 Tank?
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 (in the documents section). Flow rates in the 75,000 and 90,000 columns will destroy the planktonic food supply for the reef.
