UV STERILIZER

[jbm421]

Looking for a UV don't need anything under 18 watts but anything larger is needed as well! Ideally I would like a Aqua UV but all are considered. Let me know what you have thank you in advance!!!

I have a 24watt Uv new in box never been opened. too big for my setup. It's not Aqua Uv but worth a shot if you are interested. $45 shipped.

Goes in the tank? Might be able to use it in the basement. What's the length of that?

 

[rlman41299]

this is the dimension of the unit . Needs to be fully submerged

some description from manufacturer:
Makes fighting green water easier. UV radiation is effective in controlling bacteria, yeast, molds, and other pathogens, in turn controlling algae growth. Water flows in direct contact with the UV lamp, intensifying its function of fighting green water. In addition, it can be hidden behind ornaments in your aquarium, cutting back on tubing around your tank.

I have had one of those and I question whether it kills bacteria and only cleans ( or clarifies the water) I have heard different things about UV's and this one was one of the ones that wasn't so hot. I use ones made by Aquatop but I tend to believe anything over 18 watts ought to do the trick so I guess it depends on what your intentions are with it. Keep the water clear Ok .
Not to rain on you trying to sell it Riman
But I would research about UVs as much as possible and what your wants and needs for it and then buy what you can afford I do believe in them though

Thanks for the advice.
I was just simply offering to OP what I have since he is looking for UV above 18watts and anything will be considered. I did not mention that mine is the best out there simply copied what the manufacturer has on their site.
Either he wants it or not is fine with me. Just trying to help out. I don't use UV anyhow since I use ozone.

What are the benefits of ozone and the negatives, the subject has interested me but haven't really researched it as I just going into salt from fresh
