Dear Jason: I'm very pleased to see that this product is working for you. I'll keep that in mind in case I have a similar problem. I wonder is placing a UV bulb above the glass canopy would get similar results. I keep one on a timer over my bedroom tank, so that the animals do not get excessive amounts of UV light. Having it on for only a few hours a day (total) doesn't appear to cause them any trouble. I do this to combat black beard algae. For me the difficulty is coming up with microbes to feed to my daphnia cultures. I'm curious to know if water from a tank with an algae bloom would provide nutrients for daphnia. But, I haven't had tank water turn green for years. But, I believe that it is the Animalia microbes that daphnia mainly consume. Thank you for showcasing, this terrific product for us. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
E. J. Brinegar Almost all UV-rays would be blocked by a regular sheet of glass, so putting one above the glass is pretty pointless. Some UV-A rays will pass, but those are not what is used in UV-sterilizers, and usually not in any UV-lights.
Dear Sir: Thank you, so much, for this, very useful information. Though the UV sterilizer made an interesting, night light, I have a better use for the timer. I put it on a reflector light over my infusoria cultures. Now I won’t have to remember to turn the lamp on and off for them. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
I have only used a UV sterilizer once and it was one of those “inline” ones but man it worked. I accidentally left it on tho and the $40 dollar bulb burned out, just like my sunsun, haha but it’s all good. You should find the receipt and take it back now that the water is cleared up 😂
Thanks for this information. My red eared slider turtle, Miss Speedy, thanks you too. Bye bye algae bloom and sore throats for me. God bless you.
