Aquatop Power Filter with UV Sterilizer Aquarium UV Sterilizers at Pet Mountain

On December 24, 2012:
After a 6 day power failure from Hurricane Sandy, I tried to get my freshwater planted tank back into shape. Some fish were dead and the water was 50 degrees. I got the worse case of Ich and Fungus I ever saw. I started using Herbal Ich and Fungus medicine. I didn't want to kill the Cory Catfish, Plants and other weak fish. Nothing worked. I saw the Aquatop PF-25UV and ordered it from PetMountain. Ich was gone and water clear in 3 days.

Have this on a 15 gal salt water tank, doesn't sit on the lip of the tank properly, impeller keeps freezing up...but it's great when it's running. The little built in skimmer is actually the surprise bonus, it keeps the surface of the water free of build up. Don't buy as your primary filter.

I bought the 128 gph filter, on full flow with a new clean cartridge there is overflow going back in to the tank and the water movement from the impeller causes the water to almost spill over the back at any angle. The plastic used feels and is fragile, like it could break easily. I had to seal a small crack on the intake tube, fresh out of the box, it was sucking air in causing micro bubbles in the tank. On the good side: Its a uv filter, and it has a surface skimmer. Its great as a supplemental filter if you keep the flow on the minimum setting.
