  • Small, easy, and effective (for small tanks)
So far, I like this little thing. I've actually bought two. I use them primarily in my small tanks, a 5G and three 2.5Gs. Within a day, it clears the water right up! I haven't tried it in any of the larger tanks. It's a small wattage and a small unit, so I don't know how effective it would be in a tank 20G or more. But I've tried a lot of UV sterilizers, and most of them leaked. These are not like that. They just hang on the inside, and water flows through them as the currents in the tank take it. Like I said, I have two, so I use one in a couple of small tanks, clear up that water and move them to another if needed. ... show more

  • Goodbye algae bloom
Why did I wait so long to buy this for my freshwater tank?! The algae bloom was completely cleared in under a week. I still have it set up but thanks to the timer, I run minimal hours and have not had any trouble with fish or tank maintenance.

  • Not a filter, THIS IS AN ALGEA REMOVING LIGHT.
Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product works great in my 6 gallon aquarium. It is helping to keep the water clean. It is not a filter is simply a light that will take out aa lot of algea from the aquairum. I still need to use water treatment, but the tank is doing so much better. I would recommend it. ... show more

  • Loud piercing sound
This product is nice and compact in size. However, it has a loud piercing sound every time it turns on or off.

  • Why didn't I use this earlier?
I've been keeping fish on and off for decades. Recently, I had an issue in my fully cycled 29 gallon tank that has been operating without issue for a full year. The water suddenly turned murky, then green. Research pointed me to a UV sterilizer, and I bought this one. The manufacturer says "not recommended for 24 hour use", so at first I ran it for 6 hours - not much of a change - bumped it up to 12, again, little (but some) improvement. I finally bit the bullet and set it for a continuous 24 hour run. In 5 days, the water was pristine, easily the clearest it is ever been. I believed the recommendation to avoid 24 hours is due to the bulb life - this little baby will burn out quickly at that rate, probably within 6 months. I plan to try a 12 hour cycle, and if the water stays clear, maybe bring it down to 6 hours. But one thing is for sure - this has become a permanent fixture in my aquarium setup, now that I've learned all it can do. And, I'll be buying one for my quarantine tank, since it's a great way to clear ich and other disease causing bacteria. At this price point, I have no issue replacing the unit every 6 months, and I love the fact that the bulb is shielded, meaning no fried inverts or fish. Happy as a clam! (or should I say snail or shrimp...) ... show more

  • Works great
Arrived fast, and easy to use. It has cleared up our aquarium within 3 days, running it 24 hours. We have now turned it down to 6 hours a day. Very pleased.

  • great UV light
this is by FAR the best UV light I have ever owned. FORGET the ones that are also a pump/filter... this one (as opposed to those) is maintenance-free. I place it close enough to the current created by my pump/filter so that water GENTLY circulates through it, and that's it! (IF you do not place it near a current, it won't clear tank... needs to access all of the water) ... show more
