EHEIM reeflexUV reduces microorganisms in the water and eliminates torbidity more efficiently than ever before.
EHEIM reeflexUV is yet another typical innovation from EHEIM: due to a built-in reflector the microorganism killing UV-C radiation is significantly increased and whereas in conventional UV-sterilizers the water is directed via detours past the UV-C burner, in the EHEIM reeflexUV water it takes the direct route. There is no loss of performance, you need less energy and. The level of effectiveness is 1.8 times greater. EHEIM reeflexUV should only be used in conjunction with the filter, in order to reduce small organisms (microorganisms, algae spores etc.) in the aquarium. There are 5 models available for aquariums from 80 up to 2000 liters. (21-528 Gallons)
Benefits of the EHEIM reeflexUV
• Quickly and efficiently reduces both harmful bacteria and fish parasites in their infectious stages in the water
reeflexUV 350 = Maximum flow capacity: 200 l/h
reeflexUV 500 = Maximum flow capacity: 400 l/h
reeflexUV 800 = Maximum flow capacity: 600 l/h
reeflexUV 1500 = Maximum flow capacity: 1000 l/h
reeflexUV 2000 = Maximum flow capacity: 1500 l/h
• Eliminates torbidity caused by algae or bacteria
reeflexUV 350 = Maximum flow capacity: 400 l/h
reeflexUV 500 = Maximum flow capacity: 800 l/h
reeflexUV 800 = Maximum flow capacity: 1200 l/h
reeflexUV 1500 = Maximum flow capacity: 2000 l/h
reeflexUV 2000 = Maximum flow capacity: 3000 l/h
• Internally fitted high gloss aluminium reflects the UV-C light and ensures more efficient sterilisation
• Excellent results with low energy consumption (1.8 times more effective than conventional UV-sterilisers)
• No performance loss as, using a special design, the water is not redirected
• Also ideal for breeding tanks as it reduces the risk of infection
• Cleasing bacteria are safely retained in the filter as only floating organisms are captured.
• AUTO-OFF: automatic safety cut-off when changing lamp
• Easy to attach using the included fixing bracked
• Variable installation, no defined installation position or flow direction
• Accessories: EHEIM UV-C-lamp, fixing unit, ballast with power cable, 2x hose connection taps ø 12/16 mm, 2x hose connection taps ø 16/22 mm
Special technology for clean water and healthy fish In a UV-steriliser, the aquarium water is directed as a thin film past a UV-C lamp (burner). The UV-C radiation penetrates the water and kills off microorganisms, algae spores and other small organisms.
Using conventional technology the water is only irradiated on one side. EHEIM on the other hand has built in a reflector, via which the reflected radiation penetrates the water from more sides. Thus reeflexUV achieves a significantly higher performance level.
Furthermore, the EHEIM reeflexUV doesn’t have a complicated water flow system. The water is not redirected and flows around the burner without detours. So there is no loss of performance.
The AUTO OFF ensures an optimum level of safety. Since UV-C radiation can cause damage to skin and eyes, reeflexUV switches off immediately when the device is opened.
What you should also know:
Compared to normal waters the bacterial count in an aquarium is relatively high due to the small amount of water. It is worth reducing this and bringing it back to a normal level. However, the aquarium water should never be completely bacteria free.
Only floating bacteria in the water are captured by the UV-sterilizer. Colonized cleaning bacteria in the filter (compare biological filtration) and bacteria in the gravel substrate are spared.
Torbidity in the water, caused by bacteria or floating algae, is removed very efficiently by the UV-sterilization. Basically-algae growth is curbed, because the spores are killed off.
UV-sterilizers generally ensure healthier fish, because the risk of infection is reduced. A UV-sterilizer is especially recommended for breeding tanks, because dangerous pathogens colonize on eggs or infect young livestock, which don’t yet possess enough power of resistance.
UV-sterilization in general doesn’t cause any kind of changes to the water values.

Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
