Aqua Ultraviolet Advantage Series 15W UV Sterilizer
Achieve crystal-clear water and maintain a healthier reef environment with the Aqua Ultraviolet Advantage Series. Designed for maximum efficiency, these sterilizers utilize high-output UV-C light to disrupt the DNA and RNA of single-celled organisms, effectively eliminating free-floating algae, bacteria, and protozoa without the use of harsh chemicals.
Whether you are running a quarantine tank, a nano reef, or a portable frag system, the Advantage Series offers a simple, compact, and high-performance solution to keep your water pristine.
Why Choose the Advantage Series?
- Rapid Results: Most reefers report noticeably clearer water overnight. Consistent use prevents bacterial blooms and keeps your water column polished.
- Intuitive Design: Features a clear-blue quartz cap, allowing for a quick visual check that the lamp is powered on without exposing you to harmful UV-C rays.
- Easy Implementation: The included hang-on-back style bracket secures the output flow, making setup effortless. Simply plumb the 1/2" inlet and your system is ready to run.
- Durable & Versatile: Built with robust materials to outlast traditional sterilizers. The variable flow design allows you to target specific water quality issues depending on your setup.

Maintenance Note
To maintain peak performance, replace the UV lamp and the quartz sleeve annually. If you notice algae buildup on your glass or rockwork accelerating, it is a key indicator that your bulb's energy output has diminished and it is time for a refresh.
