Functions of aquarium UV light sterilizer
Ultraviolet rays are divided into UVA, UVB, UVC, and vacuum ultraviolet rays. The difference between them is that the wavelength is different. The sunlight from the sun itself contains the above four types of ultraviolet rays, but after passing through the earth's ozone layer and clouds, only UVA and UVB left. UVA and UVB have little ability to kill bacteria and kill algae.
It is UVC that really has a strong sterilization ability. The UVC wavelength is 280nm-200nm. The effective wavelength of the germicidal lamp for a fish tank is 253.7nm, which is the wavelength of UVC.
If the fish tank is not cleaned for a long time, the fish smell will be generated. At this time, the sterilization lamp should be turned on to kill the foreign bacteria with spoilage function, which prevents the generation of hydrogen sulfide and naturally no longer emit odor.
However, this is not a permanent cure, and it is the correct way to clean the filter cotton and filter chamber regularly.

- Sterilization lamp has three functions, the smallest function is sterilization.
- The second function of UV light sterilizer is deodorization.
If the fish tank is not cleaned for a long time, the fish smell will be generated. At this time, the sterilization lamp should be turned on to kill the foreign bacteria with spoilage function, which prevents the generation of hydrogen sulfide and naturally no longer emit odor.
However, this is not a permanent cure, and it is the correct way to clean the filter cotton and filter chamber regularly.
- The biggest function of UV light sterilizer is to kill algae.
