UVC In-Line Clarifier

UVC In-Line Clarifier

Item #: A198 | UPC: 015561101981

Quickly and easily connected to most canister filter setups, the Fluval UVC In-Line Clarifier eliminates suspended bacteria and algae for a clean and clear aquarium. Fluval CCFL technology attacks cloudy and green water by applying powerful, DNA-destroying UVC light emissions. This natural process is chemical-free and will not affect beneficial, surface-dwelling bacterial colonies that are already established. With its distinctive compact design, the unit fits neatly within aquarium cabinetry without cluttering existing filtration systems.

Questions & Answers

My aquarium is cloudy. Will the UVC Clarifier help?

If the cloudiness is due to suspended bacteria or algae, the UVC Clarifier will indeed clear the water, provided it is installed as instructed. If the cloudiness is caused by fine particulate matter suspended in the water column, the use of fine filter media such as Fluval Quick-Clear is recommended.

My aquarium smells bad. Will the UVC Clarifier help?

To help reduce smells, the best solution is the use of activated carbon. We recommend investigating the source of the odor: if it is due to decomposing organic matter, make sure to remove it and perform regular partial water changes.

Should the UVC Clarifier be used in conjunction with a particular filter media?

For best results – particularly in the case of cloudy water – using fine filter media, such as Fluval Quick-Clear, in conjunction with the UVC Clarifier is recommended.
