How To Sterilize Aquarium Can I Use A UV Lamp To Sterilize An Aquarium?

Can I use a UV lamp to sterilize an aquarium? - how to sterilize aquarium

I bought an aquarium so I read about the care for them with all filters and all that, and I learned the UV-pump is used to sterilize water. I am not a lamp with a bomb and wondered if simply brilliant in the tank or without help or harm the fish.


Thanks

A UV sterilizer = / = a UV lamp. A UV sterilizer is not "sterilize" water technology. It will only kill water-borne bacteria. The operation is as follows: There is a UV lamp in a glass tube, waterproof, and placed the tube in a larger plastic tube. A powerhead pressurized water into a large plastic tube that is exposed to UV light, in theory, eliminate bacteria in the water, pour water into the tank then. Put a UV lamp through the shell does not work for 2 reasons:
1. Not all water
2. Fish burn skin and eyes.

UV sterilizers are not really necessary, but nice. In general, they only work on marine settups face, or reservoirs of large fish with FW expensive as arowanas.
