UV's are a pityfull way of maintaining water quality. Its expensive to
replace that bulb every year as needed, so a good mechanical filter is
a better investemt. There are lots of good filters that will filter
out the junk, as well as feeding habits type feeds that are fed,
fishloads, how are the plants if any planated, what kind f fertilizer
is used in the plants etc etc that makes for better water than does
not cost anything other than time than fiddling with a UV.
