The Tropic Marine Pond (& Aquarium) UV Sterilizers feature solid construction by a company long recognized as an industry leaders in its innovation and quality of products. As well, these UV Clarifiers are made with UV bulbs that maximize water contact time, unlike many comparable high priced units.
New LOWER prices from the UV Sterilizer Experts here at American Aquarium Products!
Many Pond UV Sterilizers currently on the market come with high price tags for features such as wipers that do little to improve UV Sterilization (& often break quickly) when one considers that a UV should be serviced every six months in the first place (wipers do little for the main problem that needs servicing; calcium buildup).
The Pond Advantage UV Sterilizers make excellent Aquarium UVs as well with their superior flow designs over many of the popular compact UV Sterilizers sold today.
The Vecton has more "perks" and a more compact design with opposite return/outflow for specifically for aquariums and although the Advantage can be used either for pond or aquarium, we recommend the Vecton primarily for aquarium use (flow pattern is otherwise the same).
As well both Vecton and Advantage are vastly easier to service than ALL popular Compact UV Sterilizers (including those we sell), with the results being much less chance of broken quartz sleeves during servicing of your UV.
These TMC UVs (especially the 110 watt Pro UV Sterilizer) provide long exposure/ high dwell time per wattage of UVC irradiation (again unlike many of the HO UVs that have inadequate exposure time as per wattage of UVC). The Result is that all these TMC UVs can handle flow rates 5-10 gph per watt more than most other UV Sterilizers to perform the same level of Sterilization (Clarification, Level 1, Level 2). As an example the TMC 8 Watt Vecton will outperform ANY 13 Watt Compact UV Sterilizer due to vastly superior dwell time time!
The TMC 8 Watt Vecton produces 2.08 watts of UVC energy per second while the best Compact 13 Watt UV produces 1.95 watts of UVC energy per second!
See: UV Sterilization; Dwell Time Test between UVs
Quite bluntly there is no better UV Sterilizer/Clarifier watt per watt than the TMC UV Sterilizers at any price
Finally please note that while our suggested aquarium/pond sizes as well as recommended flow rates may seem lower than most other web sites UV Sterilizers/Clarifiers (& even what the manufacturer writes on the box), this is because we publish tested and proven flow rate and aquarium/pond size suggestions based on our 30 years experience, not best case scenario or even impossible flow rates. Know that when you purchase a UV Sterilizer from us whether the TMC, Terminator or others that recommendations are based real world experience and facts not manufacturer claims based on perfect conditions that due not exist in an aquarium or pond.
The new V2ecton UV Sterilizers by Tropic Marine Center offer a new easy and convenient way to utilize the benefits of Ultraviolet Sterilization on smaller aquarium systems. The new design is lightweight and easily attaches to a wall or cabinetry. New LITE-SET lamp life timer allows user to track the life span of the bulb and be notified when the bulb needs replacing. Please Click on the UV Picture to the left to enlarge.

The same features as the 8 Watt Vecton except the Lite-Set; Instead the newest models will now include a new 90 degree adapter elbow for difficult Plumbing situations
The same UV lamp & internal design as the 15 & 25 Watt Pond Advantage, but in a more compact design with more features some aquarium keepers prefer (see V2-200 section above).
The Vecton's aquarium friendly design makes for easier mounting closer to the base of the aquarium, thus allowing canister filters or internal pumps with poor head pressure a better flow rate for otherwise marginal pumps/filters.

(For Pond OR Aquarium;
The same internal design as the TMC Vecton UV25 & UV15 also made by Tropic Marine Center except with a more weather resistant/durable "shell", making this a more durable UV than its "sister" UV) Please Scroll to the Bottom to Purchase
UV25 - Rated for ponds up to 4800 Gallons with a rated maximum flow rate of 2400 Gallons per hour
However we recommend a maximum of 1250 gph (after head pressure is figured) based on optimum flow calculations, as well I would recommend this UV for a maximum pond size of 3750 gallons based on a minimum turnover rate of once per three hours or less.
*As well, the 25 Watt can used for larger yet Ponds by utilizing 2 or more (for example two 25 Watt TMC Clarifiers can handle a 7000-9000 gallon pond).
This is most efficiently performed by utilizing separate intake and returns for optimum pond flow circulation patterns or by splitting the return of for example a 3000 gph pump into two returns each with a 25 Watt Advantage UV.
*The 25 Watt is effective for Aquariums up to 450 gallons with a Max flow rate for Level One Sterilization of 875 gph With a more efficient flow design of popular compact UV Sterilizers
UV15- Rated for ponds up to 3600 Gallons with a rated maximum flow rate of 1800 Gallons per hour.
However we recommend a maximum of 750 gph (after head pressure is figured) based on optimum flow calculations, as well I would recommend this UV for a maximum pond size of 2250 gallons based on a minimum turnover rate of once per three hours or less.
*15 Watt is effective for Aquariums up to 250 Gallons for Level One Sterilization With a more efficient flow design of popular compact UV Sterilizers
3 Year Warranty against Defect (one year UV-C Bulb/Lamp)
The same design as the Vecton UV25 & Vecton UV15 (also by TMC), except a more durable case; as well this Pond Advantage UV25 can be used for Aquariums where a high flow, high end professional UV Sterilizer is preferred.
This is a Premium UV Sterilizer/Clarifier equal to many other premium UVs such as Aqua or Emperor, except not a premium price.
Watt per watt, more efficient than ANY compact UV Sterilizer (including the Terminator we sell)
Robust construction and new ergonomic, green and black design.
Surface, filter or wall mountable and supplied with a wall mounting kit and a filter lid fixing kit.
Four-stage hose tails designed to take flexible hose from 1/2" to 1 1/4". Hose tails are held in place with screw on collars, allowing the disconnection of the hose, leaving the unit or the hose in situ for ease of servicing and maintenance.
Rigid pipe adaptors, for connection to 1 inch (40 mm) solvent weld rigid PVC pipe, are included with the unit. These adaptors are held in place with screw on collars, allowing the disconnection of the rigid pipe, leaving the unit or the rigid pipe in site for ease of servicing and maintenance.
Recommended Vinyl Tubing Size; 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", or 1" ID
Size; 22 L x 5 H x 7 W
Easy access to working parts making maintenance quick and easy.
Supplied with a 5 meter power cable.
Complete with comprehensive instructions and backed up with full technical support from TMC.
For Replacement 15 & 25 Watt T8 2 Pin Bulbs (supplied with UV)
Full 36 month guarantee against any defect or failure. This covers all parts and labor. For higher flow rate pond pumps (or aquarium pumps) we recommend using a flow diverter which is easily built (or purchased), this allows for instance a 25 Watt Advantage to work correctly with a pump over 1500 gph for a pond size this UV would otherwise fit well with. See this article for a further explanation: Pond Care Information, UV Sterilizer Use
2 Year Warranty against Defect (one year UV-C Bulb/Lamp)
Designed for Large Ponds or Aquarium Systems; such as those incorporating pressure filters or pressure circuits such as sand filters and venturis. In fact this TMC 110 PRO UV is superior or at the very least equal to other UVs in efficiency/effectiveness that are designed for large aquariums (or systems) that often cost vastly more $$!
New ergonomic, compact design
New energy efficient, electronic control gear
Universal 2" and 63 mm solvent weld inlet and outlet ports
The TMC 110 PRO UV Sterilizer/Clarifier now includes two 1.5 inch hose barbs for more simple vinyl tubing installations (these fit/glue inside the inlet/outlet ports) Please note that the SAE 2 inch fitting is in the inner part of the inlet/outlet ports while the Metric 63 mm fitting is in the outer part of the inlet/outlet ports so as to allow for universal fitting in both USA & Canada (as well as the rest of the world).
We also suggest utilizing a 2 inch union for easy disconnect such as the slip by slip union pictured to the left (a threaded union can also be utilized). Not included
This is especially helpful in hard-plumb applications, although the use of the hose barbs makes this suggestion less necessary in our opinion.
Suitable for ponds up to 19,200 gallons (dependent on stocking density and the amount of sunlight the pond is subject to) with a max flow rate of 9,600 gallons per hour (we recommend under 5500 gph for best results).
Suitable for aquariums or aquarium systems up to 2,200 gallons (dependent on other factors such as turnover, stocking, etc.) with a suggested max flow rate of 3300 gallons per hour.
Individually chambered lamps for optimum efficiency and contact time
Fused quartz glass sleeves which ensure that germicidal lamps are able to reach their optimum 'burn temperature' where the highest amount of UVC radiation is emitted. Also facilitates simple lamp replacement by keeping lamp separate from the pond water
Can be connected to either flexible or rigid plumbing using the appropriate plumbing fittings (not supplied). To ensure unrestricted flow, it is recommended that the unit is not plumbed in with anything less than 1-1/2 pipe work
Can be used for pressurized systems up to 43.5psi
Easily wall mountable
Flow is non-directional, either port can be used for inlet or outlet
New Generation Long-Life Electronic ballast that is also easily replaced (see TMC Replacement Ballasts)
Supplied complete with a 5m cable and a 24 month guarantee
For Replacement 55 Watt T8 2 Pin Bulbs (supplied with UV)
