Frequently Asked Questions

What does a UV sterilizer do?
It clears green water and reduces free-floating parasites, bacteria, and algae spores as water passes the lamp, leaving the tank clearer and healthier. It works alongside your filter rather than replacing it.

What size tank is it for?
Aquariums up to about 224 US gallons (850 litres), fresh or salt.

Do I need a separate pump?
Yes. The Vecton is an inline unit, so run it off your filter return or a dedicated pump or powerhead. Slower flow improves parasite control, faster flow clears green water more quickly.

How often should I replace the lamp?
About once a year. UV output fades before the lamp stops lighting, so annual replacement keeps it working at full strength.
