TMC Vecton Aquarien V²-ecton 400 - for aquariums up to 400 l / max. throughput/hour: 1300 l New design - protects fish against germs - safe and ideal for fish and plants - provides for clear water - purifies pond water without additon of chemicals - keeps algae, bacteria and mold growth under control - with universal hose connections - swivelling 90° angle of translucent plastic for an easy and more versatile hose routing - of impact resistant, translucent polycarbonate The UVC unit provides - usually - within 7-14 days for clear aquarium water, provided the UVC clarifier is combined with a biological filter. In a flow reactor the water is irradiated with UVC-radiation by the UVC-pond clarifier. By means of UV-radiation UVC devices modify the tertiary and quaternary structure of algae proteins. This means the algae is inactivated and killed. They clump and form into larger particles and thus can be easily removed from the water circulation by the mechanical filtration. The UV lamp in this unit disposes of a physical life of 8000 hours (one year). After 8000 hours the lamp lights still light up brightly, however, the emission of germicidal UVC light reduces to an efficiency of about 85%. According to the most home aquarium applications, the lamp should be replaced once a year. In case of critical applications the lamp should be replaced after 4000 hours. The water circulates through the two inlets of the UVC-clarifier, thereby reducing all biological impurities such as floating algae, pathogens, bacteria or parasites. The longer this contact is maintained and the higher the UVC-power (watts) the more effective the killing. What size do you need? V²-ecton 200 - for aquariums up to 200 l / max. throughput /hour: 680 l V²-ecton 300 - for aquariums up to 300 l / max. throughput/hour: 960 l V²-ecton 400 - for aquariums up to 400 l / max. throughput/hour: 1300 l V²-ecton 600 - for aquariums up to 600 l / max. throughput/hour: 1900 l Always use the hose with the largest possible diameter in order to achieve the maximum performance of the water pump When should be used an UVC-steriliser? Are there problems regarding algae in your aquarium? Is there a proliferation of floating algae during the months in summer? If there is reason for assuming a high bacterial load and any other options excluded it is strongly recommended to use permanently the UVC-clarifier in order to reduce the bacteria count. UV lamps are meant to clarify the aquarium water. In strong sunlight the green floating algae reproduce very quickly in organically loaded water and color the aquarium water in green. Especially in spring, the increase of the indoor temperature and the increase of sunshine hours leads to a strong alteration of the microbial load in the aquarium. In a flow reactor UVC-clarifier irradiate the aquarium water with UVC-radiation. There is sometimes the argument presented that using a UVC-clarifier is unnatural. Although this may be principally correct this statement is not convincing as a counter-argument because from this point of view any filter and even the whole aquaria may be considered "unnatural". It is further alleged that fish, being held in UVC-clarifier, were softened and fell ill as soon as they are put into other water. First, this is not true, secondly you then could represent the idea that a biological filter is harmful and that a high nitrite content would contribute to strengthen the fish. Exactly the opposite is the case. The flowing water is also purified from harmful bacteria and germs. The reduction of germs has no negative effect on the aquarium´s climate because bacteria, responsible for the decomposition of pollutants, settle on stones, filter media etc. in the entire aquarium system which allows them to grow and multify in these places. The UV-lamp can maintain the whole microbial content of the water in a healthy natural balance.
