AAP recommends our industry leading in depth article about aquarium & pond UV Sterilization
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumUVSterilization.html
Here is an excerpt from the Editorial/Comments Section:
"What is also noteworthy throughout this article is I DO provide references, and yes a lot of information is based on my own vast experience, consultations, and experiments where by I then arrived at product I would recommend.
My goal with my large aquarium/pond maintenance company was to be more profitable by cutting back on disease incidence, water clarity issues and more, as most of my clients were under a contract that included replacement of livestock. So in the end if you were to "follow the money", my financial incentive was NOT to sell UVs, rather to to put together a system that worked and which included far more than UV sterilizers, such as quarantine, feeding, water parameters, etc.
So for those rude individuals who use "appeal to authority" logical fallacies and call this article "hand wavy", fine, but for those who have more respect for other's decades of work and experience as well as continued ongoing research, I am simply reporting on my findings, both researched and anecdotal (but anecdotal based on 1000s of aquariums).
As a reader, please follow the references cited, please also apply common sense logic too, as many of the concepts applied in this article do NOT require parking one's brain.
For the critics of what products are promoted, of course I promote products, as I run a business.
HOWEVER, I have professional experience dating back to 1978 (longer in the hobby), and I have used and experimented with most well known brands with literally over 1000 applications. This includes the Aquanetics UV, Aqua UV, Lifeguard, Tetra UV Turbo Twist UV, Laguna UV, Emperor UV, and MANY others.
In other words, for me to sell anything other than what I know to be the best would be dishonest which is why the TMC line of TRUE UV Sterilizers is what I recommend far and away above all else!! "
