Tanks with an overabundance of light, causing green water algae. Hospital/quarantine tanks. (bacteria, pathogens) Sudden unforeseen illnesses in tank. (bacteria, pathogens) As a precautionary measure. (algae, bacteria, pathogens) As a sterilizer use on <500g, as a clarifier 2000g (sometimes just a matter of dwell time vs lamp power). Dr Joe .
