Love the reality of braking the bulb 😂❤
I love these review videos!
Cool ! I was impressed with the price of the sicce ❤
If you go on the DD website it lists flow rates for a reef tank and a fish only tank. The fish only tank gives you a slower flow rate. Im guessing thats for parasite control. In the case of the DD 10w UV the minimum flow rate is 230LPH and for the 39 watt its 920LPH minimum
Hi @Reef Dork,
Good vid and info, thanks (& sorry about the quartz sleeve!).
Quartz sleeves are a pain, and were always being broken in the large wattage units used for ponds where I used to work...and they ran to nearly £100 for a replacement (~25 years ago).
Maybe the difference in unit length is if they use different bulb types, e.g. your 10w looks to have a "double tube"/side-by-side one, but perhaps the 30w has a "normal" fluorescent-style tube?
Cheers,
Rich.
I have the 48 plus a small DC pump but I have not got round to installing it yet! I had not thought of putting it in the sump but it makes perfect sense and will spur me on to getting it fitted!
Unfortunately my sump is just a little too shallow to use your bracket. Any chance you could make a version to fit the slightly larger centre tube section with the flange sitting on top of the bracket??
There are too many potentially niche options people would ask me to make so I'm just gonna go with a one size option I'm afraid...
They say a quarts sleeve allows more UV light to pass through it than the equivalent glass that why the equivalent UV rating is doubled for them. Also, you know when the UV bulb goes out because the transformer makes a beeping noise and the light on it turns from green to red
Interesting, thanks.
I've just picked up the 48w for my system. I believe the flowrate is what they rate the unit for at 33,000 microwatt's/sec/sq.cm. off the top of my head (its gone midnight) i think you need 300k for parasites so 10x slower than its rated for.
@@The1NdNly thats too slow and the bulb will overheat. Algae is 33000 which if you run the unit at its suggested rate it will be efficent. For marine ich sterilization (not too kill as these uv units are not powerfull enough to do) is 72000 so you need to slow the units recomended flow rate down by 2.18 too acheive that. I personally slow it down by a third to hit 99000 and this then covers me for the bulb losing intensity over the year.
These don’t seem to be available through Deltec USA yet
I’m curious how they compare to aqua ultraviolet - because a 57 watt is about $500 from them
Fellow quartz sleeve breaker numpty here 🙋♂️ 😅
👊
Vecton Titan for the win
Can you put a link to the 48w uv? Thanks
Done - links now in the description
I have the 39 W model. The gasket sucks. At some point the water will leak and go through to the electric connection, and as a result you will have a short circuit, a power outage at home and a fried power supply. And the replacement is about 90 €.
After my second catastrophic failure, I put some teflon band around the gasket.. I hope it will work. But I believe the design is wrong. You cannot separate the electrical connector from the saltwater with a rubber gasket which will degrade.
Can you also use us gallons it helps the us reefers 😊
or you could just divide by 4 (it's actually 3.785 if you want to be more accurate)
Mate a 10 watt UV steriliser is not going to do that much to parasites,. I get it that is a nice compact size UV but the longer the sleeve of a UV the more contact time it has to damage parasites. If you wan't a compact one you better get the Aqua Medic ones. Water goes through the Aqua Medic ones in a swirl around the UV bulb for better contact time. For killing or damages parasites water should also go slowly through the UV unit.
Deltec bulbs are made of quartz not glass so more UV is produced compared to a normal glass UV bulb
