Oase · UV clarifier
An inline UV-C clarifier that plumbs into your filter outlet hose and clears green water and free-floating bacteria. The ballast is built into the body, so there is no separate box to find room for in the cabinet. The lamp and quartz sleeve come out with a quick-release for cleaning.

Canister-filtered tanks prone to green water, or keepers who want an extra safeguard against outbreaks.
UV lamps lose strength over time and need replacing roughly yearly, and UV does not fix the nutrient or light imbalance behind algae.
