A sterilizer will eliminate green water and control bacteria. The Classic 160 Watt, will sterilize up to 8,500 gallons of fresh water or 1,200 gallons of salt water. Used as a Clarifier the Classic 160 Watt, will control green water in a freshwater environment of up to 16,000 gallons that has 50% to 75% plant coverage and partial shade.
In marine fish tanks (No reef or live rock) a flow rate matching those shown in the 75,000 or 90,000 column will be most effective at controlling fish disease.
In salt water reef environments choose a UV that matches your flow rate per hour in the 30,000 or 45,000 columns of our chart. Flow rates in the 75,000 and 90,000 columns will destroy the planktonic food supply for the reef.
