jayci Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 The UV light kills germs as the water passes though it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Uses UV-C rays to acheive lots of little advantages, breaks up nutrients, kills some bacteria, kills water born algae. None are necessary but if I had one spare I'd certainly have it on one of my tanks! Higher wattage UV bulbs are more effective at bacteria killing. Most common use is on outdoor ponds to stop the water going green when there is high nitrates etc hard to do a water change on an outdoor pond.

Lady-Lene Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks for that ... The UV light kills germs as the water passes though it. At the risk of sound stupid ... where does it go? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Some go internal, some go external - for example, hooked up inline with your canister filter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
