UV STERILIZER AS 2.0 for unwanted blooms

Green and cloudy water in a body of water is a clear signal of the presence of algae. The reasons for this undesirable phenomenon can be various factors, such as excessive exposure of the tank by the sun, too large a population of fish, or an excess of fertilizers used for aquarium plants.One simple and effective solution to help prevent algae growth leading to turbidity of the water and potentially negatively impacting the health of tank occupants is to install aUV sterilizer.

TheUV STERILIZER AS 2.0is adevice designed to improve the quality and clarity of water in aquariums. It is an effective tool in the fight against the effect of green and cloudy water. It reduces or even eliminates the need to use chemicals to purify water.The operation of the UV Sterilizer AS 2.0 is extremely simple. The water flowing through the device is subjected to ultraviolet radiation, emitted by afilament placed in the sleeve. Light damages algae, bacteria and pathogens, which are the main culprits of turbidity and greening of water. It is important that the lamp destroys only organisms that pass through its interior, which makes it completely safe for fish, other aquatic animals and beneficial nitrifying bacteria. The UV sterilizer AS 2.0 can also be useful in the treatment of certain fish diseases, even without the need for medication.
