This Clarifier will help to maintain a clear and healthy environment for your fish, purifying water with a chemical-free and maintenance-free way, whilst also helping live plants to thrive by combating pesky cynobacteria which can often cause plant devastation. The prevention of cloudy or green water means your tank will be looking at its' best at all times, and is suitable for all aquariums, from freshwater, saltwater, and even reptile enclosures, like turtle tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis uses long-lasting Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) technology, using optimum UVC wavelength at its' peak effectiveness, with a 30,000hr bulb lifespan, all whilst being energy efficient with a 4 - 24hr time included, so you can choose to use this intermittently if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is designed for use with the Fluval 06 and 07 Series filter canisters, but will install onto any canister with filter hosing with an internal diameter of 5\/8\" (16mm), and can be used in either direction, so no need to relocate any current filtration set up, taking just minutes to install in-line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit itself measures at 6.25 x 5 x 2.5\" (16 x 13 x 6.6cm), so is compact and easy to fit in almost any location, weighing in at less than 300g.

As traditional bulbs need to be replaced every 6-9 months, the Fluval CCFL bulb is expected to last for several years. As a result, its carbon footprint is much smaller over its lifespan than using a comparable UVC Clarifier and buying a replacement bulb every 6 months. The low 3 wattage power means that during a typical 3 year lifespan (or longer if the unit is not run continuously and set to run at intervals with the included timer) the Fluval UVC will save you up to ¬£60 in electricity cost and up to 100kg of CO2 emissions, compared to a typical traditional unit which can consume up to 5 times as much power.

All plants require a source of carbon. This is typically obtained from CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e, but, may also be derived from simple organic compounds (such as photosynthetic intermediates). The use of either CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e injection or Flourish Excel‚ does not necessarily negate the use of the other. Because the processes of producing photosynthetic intermediates and building onto them occur simultaneously, one can derive a substantial benefit with the use of Flourish Excel‚ either alone or in conjunction with CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e . The combination is particularly ideal for situations when continuing to add CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e could result in dangerously low pH levels.

This means that plants cannot divert iron from older leaves to new ones. Therefore, deficiency symptoms appear first on new or young leaves. Because plants use iron to produce chlorophyll, a lack of iron results in chlorosis, or yellowing, of the younger leaves. Stems may also appear short and slender. If the deficiency is severe and prolonged, each new leaf emerges lighter in color than the preceding leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing an iron supplement, it is important to know the distinction between the two forms of iron. The iron will be in one of two oxidation states: ferrous having a +2 charge, or ferric having a +3 charge. Ferrous iron, the preferred iron form and is soluble in water at any pH. Ferric iron, however, is only soluble below a pH of around 5.5; but if the pH is higher than 5.5, which more than likely it will be in a planted aquarium, the ferric iron will become insoluble and precipitate, settling in the root zone. Once this occurs, foliar absorbtion becomes impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome this precipitation, competing products employ a chelate of ferric iron: iron-EDTA. While this does keep it soluble, it has a couple of drawbacks with respect to foliar uptake of iron. (1) Iron-EDTA bonding is very strong, thus very little of the iron will be available to the plants over a given time frame and (2) Physiological energy must be expended by the plant in order to extract the ferric iron from EDTA-iron and then convert (reduce) it to the ferrous form.

Despite what other manufacturers may intimate, gluconate is not harmful to plants or fish. In fact, ferrous gluconate is better suited to foliar feeding than is iron-EDTA owing to the relatively weaker iron-gluconate bonding vs. iron-EDTA bonding.
