UV for a 2000ltr tank

[jim barry]

Hi all
Anyone got any recommendations?
I am setting up a new tank and looking for a unit big enough to cope.
I already have one tank the same size and currently use 2 Vecton 600 units but I wonder if there is a make out there that does a unit big enough so I only have to run 1 unit?
Cheers

Evolution aqua do some large ones for ponds which are rated highly, but I think they are quite dear compared to the vectrons

The evolution range are clarifiers from what I can see and not sterilizers

Ah my bad apologies, I thought they were the same you just used a slower flower rate to sterilise and high rate to clarify?

Good luck finding one.

I'm not sure if you can find them in the UK, but from what I've researched Aqua UV is the best brand there is out there. I bought a 114 watt for my 1200 gal setup. They are pricey but are supposed to do a great job.

But I will say it again, the web site states these are clarifiers and not sterilisers.

Are you looking at their site or sites where it is for sale?

Aqua UV is a sterilizer if you put the right flow through it. There are very few units that are more powerful than Aqua UV. Most people just try to push way too much water through their sterilizers so they aren't as effective.
