UV Sterilization is the safest method of preventing and eliminating problems in an aquarium, or pond. UV will not kill a parasite on the fish, but parasites go through a free floating stage, at which point they are eliminated. Additionally, corals and fish can and do carry bacteria which can infect and spread throughout the tank, killing other inhabitants. We have seen this with SPS and other corals. UV will kill the bacteria without disturbing the balance of the tank.
Aqua Ultraviolet is the best unit we have ever seen, superior to Emperor, Rainbow, Aquanetics, etc. UL Listed-Uses transformer (not ballast)-The only unit that uses lifetime warranted weather resistant PVC. Quartz sleeve (No Metal bushings to break sleeve) Vicor hard quartz glass 4 pin lamp for ultimate output. Pond, Fresh, or Salt * 14 month lamp life. Use in reefs to prevent bacterial contamination found on new corals and fish. The best way to treat a reef.
UV and the Reef
The initial thinking on reef tanks was to avoid UV, to keep plankton alive. However, with the skimmers and pumps used on aquariums the plankton population in the water column is virtually non existent. You can use a UV continuously (recommended) or just keep one at the ready, in the event of an outbreak.
(IT IS MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE TO GET ONE NOW, BEFORE IT IS AN EMERGENCY)
A UV should be in every fish/reef keepers bag of tricks.
Sizing Most charts you will see call for a much larger UV unit. Mfgs. have based this on National drinking water standards, where the water is passed through the UV only one time. In aquarium or pond use, the water is passing through the unit 5-6 times an hour, 24 hours a day, day after day. The chart shown is an accurate guide to the required UV unit.
