Fluval UV Clarifier for External Filters

Improve aquarium water clarity with the Fluval UV Clarifier for External Filters. Designed to work with compatible external canister filtration systems, this UV clarifier provides an effective way to help manage suspended microorganisms and free-floating algae that can contribute to cloudy or green aquarium water.

The compact design makes it a practical addition to an external filtration setup, allowing you to incorporate UV clarification without taking up valuable space inside your aquarium.

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?

A UV clarifier can be a useful addition when dealing with persistent green water or suspended microorganisms. Because the water passes through the UV chamber as part of the filtration system, clarification takes place without adding chemicals directly to the aquarium.

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