Post Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 10:32 am   UV Sterilizer

Some of you may know that i had a algae bloom in the last couple weeks. I had to resort to buying to a UV Sterilizer and i have found a nice affordable one that does get the job, but it takes about a week depending on your size of tank. I am very glad i spent the 30 bucks because now i have a crystal clear tank.

2 Leopard Geckos : Jake and Jenny
1 Bichon Frise : Mike

I'm not scared of the dark, I'm scared of whats in it.

That's a great deal for a sterilizer from what i've seen. The only reason I haven't picked one up yet is because I'm looking for an external unit that gets installed in my pre-existing plumbing so I can hook it right to my refugium output.

Good luck with your new toy.

Have you seen the turbo twist? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... catid=7999

Or the not as highly reviewed Jebo for a lot less money.

I have seen those. Thanks. They're both out of my current price range for my turtle spending right now. A new mercury Vapor bulb just set me back. :roll:

Been using one of those Green Killing Machines and I think it works pretty awesome for the price.
