God I miss Aquanetics! IMO they were the best. But now they are gone

Check out this link…

I saw the 400W Aqua Ultraviolet SL in 3” at wholesale prices and we are getting that for the SW system in the LFS. WOW 1 MH bulb 400W! Small easy to plumb and well worth it IMO. They make smaller units and even the same one in 175W.
Try asking around though that price is very high compared to wholesale.
Just a thought.

For tank and ponds most people I work with go for the Emperor aquatics for ponds

or for tanks

I love my AquaUV - I have a 40 watt on my 120 gallon tank. It has the wiper on it, and makes cleaning a breeze. For 6000 gallons - definately look into commercial units. The mad reefer posted up a link to Aquatic Eco-systems....you may want to check out what they. The first link Sharks put up...scroll down and you'll see some large units there, too - for AquaUV.

Hey Nikki,
I have heard there are issues with the wiper going bad easily on AquaUV. Also that it is costly to replace. Any problems with yours so far?
