It's a old hand me down , the bulbs work the ballast r rusty ( i tried to clean it up ) that's all info i have besides the fact that I have never got to use it :/ I'm sorta stuck, been working on my tank for a year n got mental block.

Lifegard Aquatics 80 Watt UV Sterilizer QL-80 Information



Model # : QL-80
Dimensions: 45.25" X 6" X 15.25"
Max Flow Rate: Up to 3000 GPH
Maint. Clearance: 75.25"

The radiation from ultraviolet light at 2537 angstroms provided inside the Lifegard Aquatics Ultraviolet Sterilizer exerts a lethal effect on micro-organisms. UV light alters genetic material within the cells, which interrupts respiration. UV light, when used properly, is extremely beneficial in destroying disease causing pathogens as they pass through the unit. UV sterilization is an effective method of disease control.

Four major factors affect the percent kill of free-floating micro-organisms by UV radiation:

1. Size of organisms.
2. Radiation level.
3. The extent to which UV rays penetrate the water.
4. Contact time in which the micro-organism is exposed to the UV radiation.

Pure hard quartz material in the bulb dramatically increases UV output compared to other conventional bulbs of equal wattage.

Bulb changing is the easiest in the industry. Simply slide the old bulb out and slide the new bulb in. No need to shut down the filter system or turn off the pump. Bulb and ballast connect together with a single 4 pin connector. UV radiation levels can be increased by slowing down the flow rate or increasing the total wattage in the system.

Plumbing Note: 80W units have 1-1/4" Slip Inlet and Outlet Ports. 120W, 160W, 240W units have 1-1/2" Slip Inlet and Outlet Ports.

I'm leaving work now , once I get home I'll post some more info ... going to borrow the jobs camera * *sniker * Shhhhhhh......

 

[brunoboarder2444]

lol nice, is there anyway to tone down the 3000 gph on that uve if i could slow it down i could use that on my tank

 

[ricks reef]

The world needs more people like you,keep of up!!!

 

[Montaquelaveist]

+1 on the generosity i will most definitely be doing the same since a lot of people have helped me out here and there once my tank fully recovers from an almost tragic event i will be donating a few pieces to start people up as well starting with some elctric green GSP its growing like a weed just wanna cover the sump wall then snip snip snip lol:bagfish: but if anyone has any live rock they wanna get rid of trying to start up my 90 gallon tank

Sorry Boy's , The Camera was guarded but it's in my possesion now and I'll hit yah up tonight .

rkaragozler - it should be close to 6' but it's thin & not wide at all again, this was meant to be a Coast To Coat( as shown below ) from bean animal. Picture that on a 6' tank.

Full Blog is here.... with extra information on how to silence the pipes.

Hey Brunoboarder4444, thanks for the radioactive dragon eyes.
Hope the frogspawn head is doing well on your tank.

 

[brunoboarder2444]

Not a problem, and its doing great

 

[Koyfam16]

This is part of all that makes this hobby fun. It is good to help others and as mentioned before, karma will return the favor.

You rarely see this sort of generosity outside of MR.
