Has anyone tried these out on Oscar tanks, what benefits do they have on the water and fish and are they really worth using, I have a 30W one but not sure if they do anything for fresh water setups. Any info would appreciated guys thanks. |

maybe stopping algae blooms . it might make the water look crystal clear keep paracits at bay |

uv light kills micro organisms, bacteria algae etc,can kill whitespot(free swimming stage)so will benefit any aquarium especially useful for sensitive fish |

If it is set up correctly you will see a significant reduction in water bourne bacteria and pathogens that will significantly reduce the impact of any diease out break.
It will also aid in filtration as UV sterilizers create a small amount of ozone in the water resulting in improved filtration efficiency. |

Would it go on the intake or outake pipe on the filter, and how often will the bulb need to be changed. Thanks for all you help. |

Goes on the outlet pipe of filter and bulb needs to be replaced every 6months. |

Thomas, the flow rate is critical, note that Alan said "if it is set up correctly" |
