Vecton UV 15-Watt for sale, $60 plus $15 for shipping ($75 total).

The dimensions of the UV unit are 18.25" long x 5.5" wide x 2.75" tall. It has two hose barbs that can hold 3/4" or 1" tubing. The plug for the wall socket is three-pronged.

This UV unit is 15 Watts, good for tanks up to 115 gallons. The flow-rate is up to 340 gallons per hour.

It works on salt water and fresh water tanks equally well.

To attach it to your plumbing, just put it in-line with water being pumped back into the aquarium. To keep it separate from your plumbing, you could also attach a small powerhead (something rated 350 - 400 gallons per hour) to the UV unit's intake hose and use it that way. Both ways work equally well. You could run it all the time, if you wanted, or just run it for 4 - 6 hours a day on a timer and make the lamp last longer that way.

The UV lamp inside the unit has been used for 4 months. It will still be good for several more months, the lamps are rated for a year. But if you wanted to replace it with a new lamp, a new lamp would cost $30 - $40 and last for one year.

New Vecton 15-Watt units cost between $115 to $120 online.

PRICE: $60.

SHIPPING: I'll ship anywhere in the USA by UPS, and we can do payment by UPS COD (collect on delivery). That's where you pay the UPS delivery person when they bring the unit to your door to deliver it. I will eat the charge for the UPS COD service -- that is not included in the price and you don't have to pay for that -- so shipping would be $15 only.

Or, if you live in Los Angeles and want to pick it up in person, we can just meet at a Starbucks and that would be cash, $60 only, no shipping costs of course!

Please PM me, or write to my e-mail, cashlaw@gmail.com.
 
BUMP

Also, just if anyone might be interested, my livebearers had fry, in need of homes. They're marigold tuxedo swordtails, about 1 inch long now, really nice colors and markings. The parents had full tuxedos with mother-of-pearl flecks in the black (not spotted or incomplete like a lot of the ones in the stores) and deep orange/red marigold colors.

I'll give them free to anyone who wants to pick them up, Los Angeles, or who wants to spring for the overnight shipping cost. 15 fry at last count, too young to determine gender, but all looking healthy and eating like starved wolves.

Just if anyone might want them. Otherwise, I'll raise them to adult size and trade them to a store in a few months.

Pics when my camera gets repaired or replaced.

Actually, if anyone wants to trade a small digital camera for the UV sterilizer, we may be able to work something out!
 
Picture of actual used UV unit and zipcode?
 
Zip code is 90028.

My digital camera has died, and I'm working on a replacement. The unit looks exactly like the one in the link, opaque blue rectangular casing with two hose barbs on the same side. There are no dents or cracks on the casing. One of the hose barbs has a small cosmetic scratch, but the barb is water-tight.

It's stamped with the Tropical Marine Centre logo, and lists the manufacturer's address underneath: Solesbridge Lane, Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, WD3 5SX, England, "Manufactured and conforms to BS EN 60598."
 
Hey, I'm still on the market for a new digital camera, but after some tinkering, I managed to get an old webcam to take a picture of the Vecton unit. Vista64 doesn't play well with obsolete webcams. LOL

Trades are possible: I'm looking for a small digital camera, a canister filter rated for a 100G aquarium or larger, or a hefty amount of African mopani driftwood.

Was it used on a salt setup or fresh setup?
 
It was used on a freshwater tank as a precaution to prevent algae . . . eventually decided that I'm not going to need it on the new 90G tank I'm setting up. Better to find it a new home than have it collect dust, and I'll put whatever comes from selling it into setting up the new tank.
