This video was challenging to make - there’s SO MUCH to learn about UV sterilization in aquatic systems. I took it to kind of a basic level so I could provide a decent amount of information, while still being able to show how I handled it in my own setup.
It was a long time coming for another reason: I wanted to give it plenty of time running on my system to see how things went over a long term - 4 months in this case. I couldn’t be happier with the ongoing quality of the UV unit itself, the pump they supplied, and the results.
One thing I didn’t discuss was comparing the use of ozone to UV, and that’s because after reading how making a mistake with ozone can poison a reef tank, I knew it wouldn’t even be on my list of things to consider trying. I just wouldn’t trust myself to get it right consistently enough to feel comfortable with it.
I must thank Devon and Carl at American Aquarium Products for providing me with this equipment, and for a ton of help and guidance in making the right decision in the face of an almost overwhelming number of options. They made it simple, and gave me some great advice. Thank you! Their website is www.americanaquariumproducts.com - be prepared for an EPIC amount of information!
