Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a 50 Gal Tank, with a variety of community fish appx 20 fish total, i have 2 snails, and a pleco. the tank is filtered by Fluval 305.
When i first set the tank up it was great, water couldnt be clearer. over time, it would accumulate floating algae (ALOT),so much algae that you could not see any of the fish, or any of the ornaments, and i would be doing anywhere from 20% to 50% water changes every week or every other week because it would get so bad, and sometimes the water changes would have very little to no effect on slowing down the algae growth. i DID NOT want to try chemicals because i find alot of people say that it just stresses out the fish, and i didnt want to try chemical treatment also because i didnt like the idea of having it in the water. so i started doing some research on how to make the situation better. i saw alot of diffrent styles of UV sterilizers (more expensive in MOST cases) and the fact that you need to buy/or already have a power head for them was not helping the situation financially. i came across AA's product and read a dozen reviews or so, where 9 out of 10 were positive.
i really love the fact that it is self contained, has it's own pump, filter, and UV light.. the instructions lack quality images and is a bit cumbersome to follow at first, but when you sit down and actually just look at the image of the unit on the box, you can figure out how to put it together yourself. the reason i bought the (24W) unit is because i felt that i had maybe a worse case than usual algae problem because there is sunlight from 2 windows hitting the tank (by the way, i tried cutting the light out of the tank, did not work)
Setup took literally 10 min, from out of the box to running in the tank, and was NO HASSLE at all. the first 24 hrs or so, i didn't really see a difference. then at 48 hrs i started to see like a milky but clearer situation in the tank, at the end of the third day, things were looking good but not perfect yet, finally on ONLY the 4th day, i can see not only the fish and ornaments, but straight through to the back of the tank!. i feel that this product works Extremely Efficiently and is a must have for anyone with algae/bacteria problems. the money i used to buy this product was very well spent, and i don't think there is a better unit within the price range to beat this. i can expect that in the next few days or so the water WILL BE clearer than tap water (ive read in reviews that its actually clearer than bottled water), i am very much looking forward to this.
i would give this product 10 stars out of 5 , that is how much i love it. it works great, IS QUIET (cant hear it AT ALL), and is very easy to set up. Would recommend to Everyone with an aquarium

AA Aquariums Green Killing Machine makes fighting green water easier. UV radiation is effective in controlling bacteria, yeast, mold and other pathogens that in turn control algae growth. Aquarium water flows in direct contact with the UV lamp, intensifying its function of fighting green water. The simple all-in-one design (Filtration pump and sponge included) can be hidden behind ornaments and plants minimizing on tubing around your aquarium.? A Breakthrough in UV sterilizers: Low Cost and easy to use (10 minute set-up).? Perfect for Salt and Fresh water aquariums up to 100 Gallons.? Child safe 12 Volt design that uses a completely sealed bulb assembly - pump included!? Good for novices as well as experts!? Assembled unit measures: 15 x 2.25 x 4.25 inches.FAQ:Q: Is this a disposable unit? A: The Green Killing Machine itself is not a disposable unit. Just like any other UV sterilizer; the bulb itself is disposable. The difference between AA and other brands is that we replace the lamp together with its housing, so we make sure the seal is 100% tight and easy for users. The UV lamps have a life span of about 6,000 hours; so if the LED indicator on the control box is OFF, it means you will have to replace the UV lamp assembly. Prices for these replacement bulbs are very affordable and can be purchased here. Q: Why is the flow rate so slow?A: The slow flow rate together with our ZIGZAG flow design (inside the housing) is utilized to maximize sterilizing time.
