Hello all!
I am looking for a bit of advice from you helpful people about what type of UV steriliser I should buy. Right now I am considering several brands: Rainbow Lifegard 25watt Custom Sealife Double Helix or Emperor Aquatics 18 watt SMART UV steriliser I want to lean towards the Rainbow because I can get the spare parts the easiest, and I can connect it inline without a pump, but I am concerned that the design of the housing will cause the water to pass mostly under the bulb. Thus, wht CS double helix is good for more exposure time, but I am not sure of it's super-duper polymer sheath instead of the quartz, as well as having to have a pump connected to it. The emperor looks solid, but more expensive, and I would have to wait longer to get it shipped. Any suggestions or observations about my concerns of each unit?? Thanks! PS- Going to use it on a 50 Gallon, but want a more powerful one so I can use it when I get a bigger freshwater tank. -Seweryn |
