Sera Uv-C System – 5W

UV-C lamp for freshwater and marine aquariums up to 500 l
Sera UV-C systems are universally applicable and very powerful. They are suitable for use in ponds or aquariums.

UV-C radiation is not present on Earth, but comes exclusively from space. Therefore, during evolution, no organisms could adapt to this harsh radiation, neither pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi), parasites nor the reproductive stages of filamentous algae. This is what the UV-C system is effective at and improves the condition and health of aquarium animals when used during filtration. Bacterial water turbidity and green water in the pond are effectively suppressed.

Choosing and installing it

Two versions are listed: the 5W unit for small and medium aquariums, and the 24W unit for larger aquariums and garden ponds. Install it after the mechanical filter, so clear water flows past the lamp. UV-C light harms eyes and skin, so never switch the lamp on outside its housing or look into it. Turn the unit off while dosing medications or bacterial starters, as UV can reduce their effect. Clean the quartz sleeve when it clouds, and replace the lamp as the instructions advise, since output fades long before it stops glowing.
