Aquarium UV Sterilizer/Filter in Action!
Loading...
Uploaded by topstunts on Aug 28, 2010
My tank is holds approximately 1ton(1,000ltrs) or about 440 gallons of water. It's Big. I have 2 Eheim Canister Filters, 1) a Professional III and 2) a Professional II.
After a month, the water became cloudy white and soon after, it turned murky green!
Panic stricken, i first installed a 9W submersible UV Filter but perhaps wasn't patient enough and after 3 days, got a 36W Coraline UV Filter(Japanese Product). I hooked it up to the outlet of the Eheim and Presto! Here are the time lapse results!
Hope it helps some of you...

why wouldnt you just do a 75% water change?

I have never ever had an algae bloom like that. I get a little algae here and there, and every few weeks I scrape it off my decorations and off the sides, and everything looks perfect again. Maybe too much nitrogen in the water causes the bloom? UV filters are expensive, so unless I had bad algae, I don't see the purpose of one...

Your tank is clearly too small for those fish... lol That is one of the best comments I have ever seen!

**DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY**
Ok just to let you know...I have a 220gal and I fill it up with well water. Within 30mins it is so dense with green you cant see anything. I simply run some penguin (Wheel) or Eheim filters for a few days and it disappears to a crystal clear status. UV sterilizers are a waste of money. Unless someone can give me a good reason to use them besides to kill the algae.

do you turn the sterilizer off when the water's clear already?

@dexOn22 No, i leave it on all of the time. It consumes 24Watts so it's like leaving a small lightbulb on.

@stunnaonflyrims LOL, that's how it started. Now i've got a total of 17 and probably still very comfortable for the fish! Thanks for your comment!
