If you ask how to install a germicidal lamp in a fish tank, it involves many aspects that need to be considered, such as: the size of the fish tank, the height of the water body, the length of the germicidal lamp, the time when the light is turned on, the circulation speed of the water flow, the density of fish in the fish tank, etc. Regarding the specific installation plan of the fish tank germicidal lamp, we should consider it based on the actual situation of each of our fish tanks.
First of all, we need to understand the working principle of ultraviolet germicidal lamps: Ultraviolet germicidal lamps use UVC ultraviolet rays of 254NM wavelength to irradiate organisms, thereby destroying the DNA or RNA in cells. Then both beneficial and harmful bacteria in the water will be killed. Both viruses and algae in the water will also be killed. As long as an organism has cells, DNA or RNA, it will be destroyed. Therefore, when using ultraviolet fish tank germicidal lamps, be sure to pay attention: the light of the ultraviolet lamp cannot directly illuminate the fish.
Friends who have used ultraviolet germicidal lamps for fish tanks will find that ultraviolet germicidal lamps can effectively solve two problems: 1. Flooding of algae in fish tanks 2. Flooding of bacteria in fish tanks.
So where is the best place to install the fish tank germicidal lamp? Generally, there are three locations where it can be installed:
1. Put it on the top. Sterilize and disinfect flowing water, and isolate UVC light from the fish below.
2. Place it on the side. Also be careful to avoid fish. UVC light cannot directly shine on fish.
3.Put in the bottom. It is best to seal the fish tank, the effect will be better.
The most popular choice among customers is the fully immersed fish tank germicidal lamp. The entire lamp can be completely put into the water, which has the best effect on killing bacteria, viruses and algae in the water body.
Currently, our company can provide customers with fully immersed submersible UV fish tank germicidal lamps from 3W to 13W. Lamp lengths range from 147mm to 1100mm. The shape of the lamp tube is as follows:
