  • Quick and perfect results
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
I had an algae bloom in my aquarium, and suddenly my tank was green and cloudy. In this situation water changes don't help, all they do is provide fresh nutrients and make things worse. The algae is microscopic, there's no way to filter it out of the water. Enter the hygger Aquarium UV Light. I put this device in the aquarium where the water flows pretty well from the filter. I closed the Protective Shield so it wasn't shining its UV light on all my tank critters -- the shield still allows water to flow past the UV light. It only took two days and it had killed all the microscopic algae that had turned my water green. There's no residue, there's no cloudy water, there's no green water. And absolutely zero harm to any of my fish or plants or other critters. Since then I've used its timer to only run a little while each day, just in case something like that happens again. I'm sure it would help if there were any kind of bacterial outbreak too. The water is crystal clear. I suppose I could take it out of the tank, but why? May as well leave it there running a little bit. Have green water in your tank? Buy this. No chemicals, no fuss, quick and perfect results, and long term benefits. I'm very happy with this item, I'm sure you will be too. ... show more

  • Essential
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
Works great for 20 gallon long tanks. I had the start of a green algae bloom that wasn’t getting better after a few weeks of doing 30% water changes every 3 days or so. I bought this and within 24 hours I could see a slight difference. I kept it running for 3-4 days straight until I noticed a plateau of effectiveness. I did another 25-30% water change (I read the dead algae cells could be making water cloudy at this point) and it has been crystal clear since. In fact since owning the tank it’s never looked this nice. Would recommend this product to anyone as an essential component of your tank setup. ... show more

  • Does not work
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
This has done nothing . I had another kind prior to this purchase that worked but this one is a hunk of plastic hanging in my tank. Absolutely a bad purchase on part.

  • Algae problems solved!
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
I bought this U-V light for a 5 gallon aquarium that has had bad algae monthly. This light is incredible! First, other models I looked at had lights that illuminated into the aquarium. Not good for the fish. This one, the light is covered and the water just moves in and out of the unit. I was worried that not enough water would flow in and out of the unit to make it work effectively. 3 months now and very the tank always looks great. Of course, there is some caked on debris on the glasss and decorations, but no more algae where you can’t see into the aquarium. Completely effective. This light is completely worth it! If it broke, I’d buy another immediately or would add one to any future aquariums. ... show more

Seems to be durable. UV light is definitely killing something in the water and cloudiness is gone.

  • Works on green water algae bloom
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
UPSIDE AND PROS- This light cured a green water algae bloom that I had tried everything to get rid of. Even blacking out my tank for 2 days did not get rid of it and adding a water clairafyer and algaecide. I lost half my live plants and nearly lost my Betta. He was very sick. I put him in a hospital tank of fully filtered RO water not adding any thing in it and he fully recovered. After adding this light it took all of 4 days and a 50% water change until it was fully clear. I have also added Purigin filter resin ( be sure to use only the amount you need and no more) and Aquatic Experts water polishing filter pad 50 Micron fine because it catches the tiniest particles that cause algae problems. Also this company's classic bonded filter floss that the water passes in through first to catch larger debri then goes through the fine filter then the last thing before the goes back to the tank is through the Purigin. The light alone will not get rid of algae on your ornaments and plants. It works on the green water algae bloom only but using all these products together will cut down on all your algae problems a lot. ONE DOWN SIDE- The replacement bulb is extremely hard to find and its supposed to be replaced each year even if its still working it has lost its effectiveness after 1 year. ... show more

  • Worth the money and works great
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
Worked great. Tank started out very green and nasty and with in a few days using it the tank was clear. Took a week or two to get it perfect and now it looks great and has stayed that way with minimal time use and it mostly closed. Setup was easy and a good choice for price.

  • This light works!
Size: 3W for 5-25 Gallon
This light works! I was ready to give up on my nano 5 gallon tank. I tried different filters, chemicals, and reducing the number of fish. Nothing worked at clearing the water for more than a day or two. I've only had this light installed for a week so i can't speak to the longevity of the bulb but the size is perfect for my small tank, installation was super easy, and it works fully submerged in Healthy mode. It's worth the money and the appearance looks good in the corner of the tank. I'm very pleased. I hope the bulb lasts a reasonable amount of time. ... show more
