Coralife Aquarium Fish Tank Marine Salt Water Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizer, Mini, For BioCubes

This UV Sterilizer did an amazing job to help me control an algae bloom and obviously decrease the chances for illness on my fish.I was able to adapt it to the return pump of my AIO because of its small size. Just need some different hose sizes. The suction will depend on your return pump so as long as it’s good you won’t have any issues.

Firstly, I was impressed by the compact size of this sterilizer. It fit perfectly into my Biocube 29 aquarium and did not take up too much space. The sleek design also looks great in my aquarium setup. It should therefor also fit perfectly in the 32 gallon and i assume the package says also the 16 gallon version is supported.In terms of performance, this sterilizer definitely delivers. It effectively kills harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, helping to keep my aquarium clean and healthy. Since installing it, I have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of algae and "Dino" growth in my tank.I also appreciated the ease of use of this product. It was very easy to install and set up, and I did not need any special tools or equipment. The instructions were clear and straightforward, which made the process even easier.Lastly, the 5 watt UV lamp is a great value for the price. It is an affordable option for those looking to improve the cleanliness of their aquarium without breaking the bank.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Coralife Biocube Ultraviolet Sterilizer Mini, 5 Watt UV Lamp from Amazon. It is a high-performing, easy-to-use product that is also a great value. If you're looking to improve the health of your aquarium, I highly recommend giving this product a try!

I read the reviews, but took a risk anyways. Bulb died sometime between 1 and 4 months. Waste of money

Did not connect properly to pump, included tubing was a tad bit too small, Jerry rigged it and is working good, water is clear and nitrates are down

Somehow we ended up with an algae bloom and our water was green. No matter what we did we couldn't get rid of it. I did water change after water change. We have had aquariums for years, even 70 gallon saltwater tanks, and never had anything remotely like this, so I did a deep dive on the internet to see what could be done about it. I was so worried I was going to lose my fish, especially because I could barely see them through the green water. I found that I could use a UV sterilizer AND that Coralife made one especially for the cube tanks, so I bought this one, installed it, and we are now on day three and I can see every part of the tank now! I am thrilled. The water still has a little bit of a green tint to it, but I'm sure that will be gone in another day or two. I am just so happy I can see my fish!!!

If your done fighting algae that clouds your water making it impossible to enjoy the beauty of your water babies then I highly recommend a UV sterilizer. A few hours after a simple install you can see it doing it's job. After spending money and time with frequent water changes and algae control chemicals this has already paid for itself. So in conclusion if you want clear algae free water this item fits well for your needs and keeps the water looking amazing. Know what you keep in you tank not safe for some aquatic life.

I have a Bio Cube 32 that has been running for about three months. All of my levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) are almost zero. Despite this and doing water changes I was having an algae issue. Had to clean the glass multiple times per day and the water was cloudy. The other filtration is the standard BioCube filter and ChemiPure Blue.I added the UV Sterilizer and within a day there was a remarkable difference. The water cleared up and the algae started to disappear. I've had it running for about four days and the difference in the tank is remarkable. The tank keeps looking better every day. At this point the water is crystal clear.There has been some discussion in the reviews about how often to run the sterilizer. I've been letting it run 24 hours a day. Many of the marine fish forums suggest this.I can't speak to longevity yet but so far i'm very happy with this purchase.To install the unit you will need to cut the existing tube running from the pump. The kit includes and elbow the attaches to the top of the sterilizer and fits right into the existing BioCube return fitting.

Firstly, the sterilizer arrived in the manufacturer's packing and nothing else. You would think they would ship it inside of another box due to it containing delicate glass. I went through the hassle of installing this thing (very tight fittings), just for it to not work. Also, it leaked no matter how much I unscrewed and retightened it. Will be returning.
