Kedar Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I had a bad algae bloom problem and with research decided to use a UV sterilizer (submersible). It worked and the tank is now clear. But this device is quite large and hogs up a lot of space in the tank. I have a 36G Freshwater with a Tidal 55 HOB. I have seen online posts of folks adding a UV light to their HOB's - but am not able to figure out the mechanics of it. There isnt any space in the HOB to add it - and also wouldn't that affect by good bacteria ? Looking for suggestions in case anyone has tried it especially with a Tidal 55 HOB.

Guppysnail Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Green killing machine makes a 3 watt that clips onto the outflow of the hob. The downside is it is not submersible so you have to lower your waterline about 1.5 inches. Sold on chewy/Amazon. Several companies make hobs with uv lights already in them as well.
