Fluval UV Clarifier for Clearer Aquarium Water
Cloudy or green water can be frustrating, especially in established aquariums and planted tanks. A UV clarifier works by exposing water passing through the unit to ultraviolet light, helping reduce certain free-floating microorganisms and algae in the water column.
By installing the Fluval UV Clarifier in your external filtration system, you can add UV water clarification while keeping equipment outside the main display aquarium.

Why Use a UV Clarifier on an External Filter?

The external installation also helps maintain a clean and uncluttered aquarium display.
