    The uv clarifier has been the very best investment we have made with our pond. In 2 days it took our pond from pea green to crystal clear. now we run the clarifier one day a week to maintain clear water. Koi Pond build UV Clarifier and filtration

    Hi Mate, Just to let you know producing ozone has nothing to do with how fast or slow you flow water through your water sterilizer. In a nut shell, ozone is produced by using quartz sleeves and quartz sleeves only. If you want to use your UV unit without fear of producing ozone request sleeves made from "Vycor". Vycor allows the germicidal wavelength 254nm to pass through which you need for disinfection however, cuts out "most" of the 180nm needed to produce ozone. Just thought I would CLEAR that up... lol

    Hi Paul, I noticed you don't have these on your website any more? Also how many Liters per hour would you recommend on the 18 watt unit and the 36 watt unit on a Red Sea 250. Keep in mind I want to use this to kill white spot bacteria. Thanks
    Kane.

    Question: I noticed that some of these pond UV sterilizers are actually cheaper than dedicated aquarium ones, and also support much higher flow. Would such a pond UV sterilizer (10W let's say) work in a 100gal aquarium or are there other differences between pond and aquarium sterilizers?

    i just bought a 36w uv steriliser, is this ok to use in a 2ft tank with a red devil cichlid (freshwater tank) ?
    i have no plants, so plant growth is not of concern
    i have a serious algae problem to the point i have to clean the tank every 2 weeks , so i see this as a good solution

    • @MajesticAquariumsTV
      @MajesticAquariumsTV  10 лет назад

      yes it is fine but I would also consider using ultimate aquacares phosphate reducer

      thanks mate, also, i recently purchased one of these and set it up, but im unsure if i need a pump? will i need a pump to feed the sterilizer aswell? or can it just run on its own?

    hi I am hoping you van help me out , I have a uv and it is a tetra pond uv, I was told to put it before the filter so it would break down the gunk and garbage it is meant to break down and make the filtration easier. even the instruction said to put it before the filter . now I have read everywhere cuz it kills everything it will not allow beneficial bacteria build up in the canister bio filtration. what are your thoughts on that.

    • @MajesticAquariumsTV
      @MajesticAquariumsTV  10 лет назад

      I suggest it after all other filtration

    hi Paul, i put UV sterilizer in my tank for about 7 months, and thinking to clean/wipe the quartz sleeve from any algae that might stuck, but bizarrely no algae or muck on quartz sleeve. Does the UV light prevent algae/muck sticking on the quarts sleeve glass???. The quarts sleeve is clean as whistle

    How do you clean the inside? I have one from SunSun but the inner glass is not removable.

    • @MajesticAquariumsTV
      @MajesticAquariumsTV  9 лет назад +1

      Joel Patrick Sarmiento just pull it all a part and clean it with a rag

    • @joelpatricksarmiento5612
      @joelpatricksarmiento5612 9 лет назад

      Majestic AquariumsTV Hi, I am not sure about Aqua Nova UV, but I checked the SUNSUN and the inner glass that wraps the UV Bulb is somehow permanent with the plastic casing.

    • @MajesticAquariumsTV
      @MajesticAquariumsTV  9 лет назад

      If that is the case it is rubbish.
      If you can't clean it, it is useless

    • @spidy278
      @spidy278 7 лет назад

      hi Paul, from your experience, is it true that the outer casing can produce black residue inside due to exposure of the UV light. Same as Joel Patrick Sarmiento, i have resun brand where quartz glass that wrap the UV bulb is actually embeded to the outer casing. I know aquanova brand can be pulled all apart as i have one as well for other tank, just worry about resun

      Yes, thanks. I already found it as was out by the pond at night. Just wanted to say, i;m delighted with it, it works really well, and my pond is clear. I switch it on for a couple of hours each evening. Fantastic, i so much enjoy the pond and fish now.

    i.e. you can buy a cheaper but bigger clarifier and run the water slower through them. sorted.
    The insides of clarifiers and sterilizers are no different.
    No need to serve them quarterly at all, change bulbs annually, also cleaning the sleeve.
