Quickly and easily connected to most canister filter setups, the Fluval UVC In-Line Clarifier eliminates suspended bacteria and algae for a clean and clear aquarium. Fluval CCFL technology attacks cloudy and green water by applying powerful, DNA-destroying UVC light emissions. This natural process is chemical-free and will not affect beneficial, surface-dwelling bacterial colonies that are already established. With its distinctive compact design, the unit fits neatly within aquarium cabinetry without cluttering existing filtration systems.
