Hi, ordered a pent air ( emperor aquativs ) UV about 10 days ago from fish tank direct , anyone have experience when they will ship as i have heard 2-3 weeks but curious about others here , as i understand this ships directly from pent air them selfs. Also while your reading, Do you guys have success with using UV fighting Small cells Dinoflaggettes thanks

I think they are manufactured here in Central Florida. (What size did you get, and for what size tank?)

Lol. I’m not with the company. But I just went out into my garage and looked at the boxes… I bought two of them from BRS, and I was trying to figure out for you whether they seemed drop-shipped from Florida, or came from BRS in Minnesota. It’s hard to tell, but I think they came from BRS.

About 4-5 months ago. (Your Order must have tracking, no?)

By the way, you will love it when you get it.

No, you'll notice minimal success fighting small cell amphidinium dinos with UV. Supposedly they do go into the water column somewhat. But, they really stick to the sand bed mostly.

Blackouts under 9 days really don't do anything much for small cell dinos... but i have had success getting the dinos into the water column after around 3-5 day blackouts... I've often wondered if small cell could be wiped out with a blackout while running UV since they would be suspended. I actually cleared my small cell dino problem before I was able to test this theory.

As of now, we do not drop ship anything thru Pentair. Anything Pentair that we sell (and is listed as in-stock) on our website, we have on hand and ready to ship.
