The 55W Ultraviolet Sterilizer can be installed vertically or horizontally. The best place to install your UV sterilizer is after the filter. If it is necessary to install the sterilizer before the filter, adequate pre-filtration should be used to prevent the quartz sleeve from breaking from debris. If your system is installed after the filter and is properly sized, the water should be clear in 3-5 days. If it is installed before the filter, the water should be cleared in 7-10 days.

DO NOT BUY for aquarium lighting

I installed this unit the same day I received it and the next day the bulb and everything in the unit was burned out. The water seeped everywhere and the contaminated water almost ended up in my seawater tank. killing my corals! Beware of these cheap things!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Updates

Excellent cleaner, best for fish and aquatic life

This UV light completely cleaned my 180 gallon aquarium in about 24 hours. It was very easy to connect and I installed it after my Fx6 canister filter and in just a few hours I started noticing the effects. I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Repair

Great and will buy again!

Well made, I would buy again. There were a few issues getting a good seal with the included hose adapters. For example, using all three compounds will slow the flow rate and increase exposure time. No need for a heater anymore, my 150g keeps the ideal temperature of 78 degrees.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

The light doesn't come on!

Installation was very easy. broke and doesn't work. Then I looked into the lenses (which I thought was the second flow outlet) and saw that the light was on.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some cons

can be used but can be better

In general everything is fine. Compared to what you paid for, this item is ok. My first one blew out and I think the problem is a cracked inner glass. Raven sent replacements. The second has a small leak on the adapter. I was able to find a way to solve the problem. If I had the money I would buy a better one, but the $70 + 54W UV light is worth a try.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Works and works fast!

It changes lives! All summer we fought with algae, tried natural methods, barley straw, barley juice, nothing helped. I chose a 55W UV clarifier. My husband installed it on Saturday, today is Monday so actually less than three days and my pond is absolutely crystal clear! We couldn't be happier! Surprisingly, the pond was green and muddy. Now it's perfect!

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember

worked to a halt

Received the first light and it had a broken bulb. The second light ran with a few problems. I received this light on September 26th, 2019 and now the plastic tube holding the bulb has become so flexible that it leaked and sprayed 5 gallons of salt water onto my hardwood floors. I think the UV has weakened the plastic over time. I have 2 of these and the second one doesn't. I'll wait and see if that happens and update this post if it does. I hope they have started using better plastic in the…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
