I have an Oceanic 58 gallon tank. It is set up as a fish only tank and
it is very stable. I have had an 8 watt Aquanetics UV sterilizer on it
for years. I have replaced the bulb yearly and the unit has performed
quite well.
Last week, it quit. The familiar blue glow was absent in the sump area
and that is how I noticed that the unit was not working. I went to the
local aquarium store to shop for a replacement. I found out that
Aquanetics is now out of business. They recommended a unit made by
Emperor Aquatics. It is an 18 watt unit and really looks like it is
well built. The cost of this unit is $199.00. While this seems high,
it has been years since I purchased a UV sterilizer.
Does anyone have any experience with this unit? Is this price
representative of what people have typically paid for this unit? Any
advice would be welcome. I check this forum periodically, but if you
would like, please feel free to reply to
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
