Aquarium UV Sterilizers

What is UV Sterilization?

It's a very simple process using ultra violet (UV) light for eradicating unwanted free floating bacteria, algae and parasitic organisms, like ich. The UV sterilizer light affects the living cells by altering the structure of the cell's nuclear material. The end result is the organisms fail to reproduce, ridding your aquarium or pond water of these unwanted nuisances.

Functionally, UV sterilization is done by running water in an out of a chamber that contains a UV sterilizer light bulb. The UV sterilizer bulb is usually contained in a glass (quartz) sleeve that is in the shape of a test tube. See our large selection of quality UV sterilizers.
