well I just got a Green Killing Machine Internal 9 Watt UV Sterilizer by aa aquarium . So I thought I would post on it .
I got interested in it as I was having cloudy water and I am in the middle of a ich heat treatment . Wanted to see if what I read about these were true .
Unit was bought at my local Petco , not a bad price 50 USD , the usit was easy to install , and a clever design . A all in one uv /pump in a small footprint . The only thing I do not like is the unit has a control box separate from the unit , and it has 4 suction feet . No matter where I try to stick it t, in 5 min the thing fall off . Other then that it is working fine , just a gentle water flow . ( I read you don't want fast flow on these ? )
I have this mounted inside a 20 gal long setup . My question is how effective is it going to be killing free floating ICH ? Right now all my fish have no indication of ICH as heat has been set to 86 Deg F for a week My German blue and cardinals seen active and healthy , no visable spots. is 9 watts enough ?
