uv sterilizer

[Jen]

I'm looking at a buying uv sterilizer, but it is only graded for aquariums of about 60 us gallons. I have a 90 gallon tank. How important is it to keep it on a tank that size?

why not buy a bigger one alot brand have uv starilizer up to like 150g.

I know they are out there, but I was looking at ones on ebay that were a reasonable price.

Here's one for $77 its rated up to 125 gallons, you really got to define what you think is reasonable it's different for everyone.

That would be awesome... except that's american. Here in Canada that one runs for $189. That 77US converts to 96CAD, but because there is a bigals.ca they won't ship to Canada. Phooey. I would deffinatly consider it for that price, but not what they are charging for it here in Canada.

Hmm, that sucks.

Why?

I've heard they can remove useful traces from the water.

Ah. Just remembered your green water.

 

[Jen]

Yep. That's the whole point of it!

 

[George Farmer]

Will you disconnect it once it clears?

How's the CO2 BTW?

 

[Jen]

I just posted the results on the co2 block link... but basically, I think they are too high now. pH of 6.6, kH of 6 = 45mg/l



yes... I would only run it when the green water was present

I've replied on CO2 thread.
