Select Classic under Aquarium

UV works great in a 90G Reef aquarium. The only thing I don't like is the pointy hose connectors. It's a shame that I chose the classic variant with the entrance and exit on the same side. Installation and routing are more difficult with this configuration.

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • Outdated

it really matters

I've been using the AquaUltraviolet 2000 for 3 weeks now. and in just a week you will find that the transparency and algae growth have completely stopped. I know it works for some algae but not all. Well I have to say that I have very little to almost no algae in my saltwater aquarium. I had to see for myself if that would help me get rid of the algae. I am so happy that I bought this miracle. Don't be persuaded. Buy it and you will see for yourself. Thanks, great product. No wonder the major…

  • always liked

great way to clear water fast

This product was a really good way to clear my cloudy water. I've never been able to polish the water to make it look good. Once I was able to install this UV light, my water cleared up in just a few days. The only downside was the installation in my drain line. The inlet and outlet of this unit have a 3/4 inch ID, while most standard canister filters have a 5/8 inch ID. So to install this unit I had to go to a plumbing store and find some random parts that fit the unit, from 5/8" to 3/4" and…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Too long to wait

UV light (see below)

I installed it on a Refugium return pump. It fit very well and was very easy to set up. Also, I have a timer so I don't keep it running 24/7. I turn it off at 9pm and back on at 7am. My water is crystal clear. In my opinion, every aquarium should have some form of UV lighting. Remember that this will kill all bacteria in the water, including the good ones. The installation of the lamp is very easy. Check the tightness under running water for at least half an hour before inserting the bulb. You…

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Ideal for sterilizing aquarium water

With this unit it was very difficult to find the hose and adapters that fit my eheim pump as the side version for eheim hoses is easier to install is. Still, this is a great benefit to my aquarium as it is powerful enough to kill parasites/bacterial diseases as well as algae. My water is always crystal clear, even clearer than even new aquarium water, even without tiny particles. was polished and had high transparency. The only downside is that the transparency of the water misleads you into…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Appearance

Nice and lightweight for aquarium lighting

Product arrived in good condition, saved money buying from Amazon warehouse, box was rough but who cares, UV light looks new. I used the "green killing machine": this was my introduction to UV sterilization, but it was a bit flimsy compared to this device. 15W sterilization VS 7W means you kill both bad germs and algae. I was tired of replacing the unit every 8 months so I jumped at the chance and got this. I was wondering how on earth I was going to install this. Well, my Fluval 207 wasn't…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Weight

This is an overview of the general build quality and design. The device was returned unplugged, so I can't say if it works (but hopefully it works, hence three stars, not one). Some parts of the plastic case are quite fragile and damaged. 1) The translucent cap had a tear under the teflon tape. The teflon tape doesn't seem to serve any purpose at all (other than to hide the defect), since there shouldn't be water under this joint. The quartz sleeve (glass tube) is "permanently" fitted into the…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
