I was just reading up on UV sterolizers and came across this filter. Its apparently new and as I am just getting back into the hobby again after 10 years, I am very interested in this and was wondering if any of you have tried it and if so what are your thoughts on it. Here is the link

Hi, Scriles.

I'm not familiar with that filter but looks kind of gimmicky to me. It's priced lower than bulbs for more robust UV units or even many simple hang-on filters. There's some truth in the old adage that 'you get what you pay for'.

Ya I agree it looks gimmicky, but you never know. I think a lot of marine products are fairly over priced, and this could in fact be one that is a cheap but effective substitute for a UV sterilizer. But you are right, you usually get what you pay for :)
