If you're looking for a cheep UV sterilzer, the models has the powerhead
included and it's only 30 bucks for the 9 watt one. I picked one up and it
works great on my 29g.

=========================
I sometimes uses these on my ponds or outdoor 720g koi and GF tanks.... what
do you use them for in an aquarium? When I do water changes I run a Diatom
filer to remove all the fines and any algae floating in the water. The
water is left crystal clear.

Where is the price listed? I see no price on that page or the "details"
page. I click on "Add To Cart" to see if there's a price there - and
nothing happens.

Thanks.

There should be a pull down drop box on tha page that you can pick your
model from, where it says step 1.

In answer to your question regarding what it's mostly used for, well, as you
mentioned diatom filters get rid of algae, but UV radiation also gets rid of
pathogens, which keeps the fish much more healthy and keeps diseases from
spreading to the tank.

Gotcha! That is a good price. :-)
