Ultraviolet Sterilizers
When used in conjunction with proper fish-keeping practices, ultraviolet sterilizers offer a great way to enhance aquarium water quality and clarity as well as help protect aquarium inhabitants from potentially harmful microorganisms.
Ultraviolet sterilizers employ a special fluorescent lamp that emits cleansing UV-C light within their chamber. Aquarium water pumped through the UV chamber is exposed to this UV light and is irradiated. Free-floating microorganisms in the passing water are affected by the UV light and are no longer able to multiply. With regular use UV sterilizers can help manage water clarity and water quality issues as well as curb growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and parasites.
