9 wat UV filter

[Bigtdotcom]

I am about to buy a sun sun filter which has a 9wat UV filter in it, the filter is 2000L/PH and my tank is 500 liters. Would this amount of UV light really make a difference in my tank? I not buying the filter especially because of the UV filter its just an added bonus. This filter will be replacing my jebo 1500L/PH which has stared to reduce in flow, its 3 yrs old. The sun sun filter will be running with the 2000L/PH trickle filter that is part of my AquaGrand tank by AquaOne.

On my 120g I use a separate 9 watt UV on my tank and am quite surprised how well it keeps it. I think you will be happy with the extra clarity that it gives the water.

does a UV light have to be in the filter? if i was to install a UV light in the normal light fittinf in my tank would i get the same effect?

It does not have to be inside the filter, it just needs to be on a filtered line. You want the water as free of debris and waste products as possible.
