Aquarium and Pond Uv Sterilization; Truths and Myths and Why it is Important
Ultra violet sterilization is one of the most effective means of controlling algae (green water) in ponds and is also effective at disease prevention in aquariums and ponds and for general water quality control in aquariums and ponds. There is a lot of new evidence as to the benefits of UV sterilization for ALL fish, and many myths have been dispelled such as “UV Sterilizers destroying beneficial nitrifying bacteria”, so please read on.
UVs are also useful in Reef aquaria, especially new ones where the chance of disease introduction is high and the UVs help in keeping a balanced Redox Potential is useful. As the reef aquaria ages the sterilizer can be placed on a timer or turned on and off as needed.
As for the Redox Potential, this is an often overlooked aspect of both freshwater and saltwater aquarists. The Redox Potential is basically the oxidation and reduction properties of water. This is VERY important for proper breakdown of organic waste!, especially in aquariums where the fish/invertebrates come from waters of low turbidity (African Cichlids) or tend to produce a lot of waste (Goldfish). Most experts agree that the proper Redox Potential should be -300-390 mV (less or more is not good, which is why a proper UV is excellent for this, as this is the range they tend to keep it at).
For more information about the Redox Potential:
THE REDOX POTENTIAL IN AQUARIUMS (& PONDS) AND HOW IT RELATES TO PROPER AQUATIC HEALTH
The key to success is water flow, water temperature and cleanliness of the bulb or quartz sleeve. It is important to have a flow rate that will turn over the pond or aquarium at least once or 1

Pond snail in aquarium – is it dangerous?
Hello, I have a 10 gallon aquarium for almost a year now (my last fish is a goldfish and I have had it for like 4 months). This morning I noticed a snail in the aquarium, I think it’s a pond snail but I’m not sure. I have to add that one of my two plants died the other day while the other one is going quite well.
Is this snail dangerous or I can leave it in the tank without a problem?
The snail’s shell color is brown/golden. The body is dark. The shape isn’t really round, I’d say more like oval or something.
they can breed like crazy if and when they do and you want to reduce their numbers weigh down a piece of lettuce in the tank over night and take out in the morning along with the snails it wont get rid of all of them but will help control the numbers. a few snails will not hurt your tank
