Aqua Ultraviolet UV Sterilizers will eradicate algae, bacteria, and protozoa without any harmful chemicals or additives! UV lamps emit a wavelength that will alter and disrupt the DNA or RNA of single-celled organisms. Combining the UV lamp into a large housing allows for maximum contact time with the lamp allowing the sterilizer to be much more efficient. By changing the flow rates through the body of the UV sterilizer lets you target the specific issue you may be having. Most reefers will report that their tanks water clears up overnight with others taking just a couple days, and as long as the UV is running, the water will stay crystal clear! Every AquaUV Sterilizer includes quick-connect unions on the input and output allowing you to quickly remove the entire system from your aquariums plumbing for maintenance, allowing you to mount the UV Sterilizer without having to worry about having room for quartz sleeve and bulb changes.  Clear Blue Quartz Cap - Lets you see when the lamp is on EZ-Twist Cap - Quick and easy quartz sleeve maintenance Quick Release Unions - Remove the entire body without any dismantling your plumbing   Great for tanks up to reef tanks up to 325-gallons Suggested flow rate for saltwater aquarium sterilization - 967 GPH How It Works   The Ultraviolet Lamp emits a germicidal ray which alters or disrupts the DNA or RNA of single celled organisms.Ultraviolet light sanitizers are a proven and dependable method for controlling algae, bacteria, and protozoa.

By replacing the quartz sleeve about once per year, and also the UV lamp, your UV sterilizer will work just like it did on day one. Most reefers will know it is time to replace the bulb and sleeve when algae starts to grow on the glass, rock, and other surfaces more rapidly.    Specifications: Dimensions - 36.875" L x 3.75" W x 6" H Input Size - 3/4" Barb Output Size - 3/4" Barb Power Consumption - 40 Watts Wall Outlet to Transformer Cord Length - 15 Foot Transformer to Lamp Connector Length - 32"   Suggested Aquarium Sizes: Saltwater Sterilization - 325 gallons Freshwater Sterilization - up to 2000 gallons Freshwater Clarification - up to 6000 gallons   What's Included? 1x 40-Watt Classic UV Sterilizer 1x 40-Watt Classic Power Transformer 1x 40-Watt UV Lamp 2x 3/4" Barb Fittings 2x Reducing Bushings Unit Measurements Click for Diagram Classic Series – Classic Series Sterilizers are perfect for both experienced and non-experienced end users.
