What would be a really good inline UV stirilizer for a 29 gallon tank using a Fluval 206 cannister ?

This Turbo Twist uv would definitely work best for you. It would be more than enough to cover your tank and your Fluval 206 would be enough to use with it.

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

I bought this for a 5 gallon Fluval Spec and it works great. Very easy to use and makes water changes easy. Should work for you.

This is my first fx6 however I have owned fluval canisters before and have never had an issue. My fluval 405 has been running for years with no issues and its nowhere near as nice as the fx6. The parts are good quality. Seam like they are built to last not to mention you can get replacement parts really easily. Hope this helps.

I've had several fluvals from 305,406, and fx6. The two smaller ones I've had for 5+ years and both still work great my fx6 is built even better then those two and I've had it for 10 months with no problems at all. The 406 was used for two years on a turtle tank worked great.

I bought everything through Amazon: 1)Fluval Pre-Filter Media - 750 grams/26.45 ounces, 2)Deep Blue Professional ADB41001 Plain Polyfiber Media Pad, 18 by 30-Inch3)Marineland PA0392 Diamond Blend Activated Carbon/Ammonia Neutralizing Crystals, 50-Ounce, 1417-Gram. You have to cut the media pad to shape. I used three layers of it in one tray. I will be ordering another pump for my second tank. Priming the pump is a challenge at first, and you have to make sure the pickup is submerged, but for the money...

I run mine on a Fluval 306 on the outlet line. I Assume you are going to use this on a return line form a sump. I have had mine sitting with no flow for at least 30 minutes before and the body of the sterilizer was warm. the light still works fine still.

I have a 180 gal tank with 2 Fluva 404 canister filters. mine has a seprate basket for charcoal and the ammonia nueturalizer. It is essentianaly the same thing weather you mix it with the charcoal or have it seprate. Will do the same job.

Dena...this led light is sufficient for a ten gallon tank used for planted aquariums...so if you are using this for a 29 gallon sump then it wouldn't be bright enough for cirals or plants...However, 12 gallon refugium should be fine but I would recommend two units for ultra bright...please let me know if you have any questions

I have mine conected to Odyssea CFS 500 Canister Filter & it works fine. May have to get some different hose conectors. I think the Fluval has smaller hoses, no biggy. Also will need to get a shutoff valve to control water flow. That is something I did too. I really don't see any reason why it should not work. Good luck!! Linda

I use one with my fluval 305 canister, a 85 gallon tank and the standard 3/4 inch ribbed tubing. I recommend the fluval rubber hose adapters for the connections if using the ribbed tubing that does not have rubber ends. if you are using standard smooth tubing it should seal without the adapters.

The one I bought was not UV, although Tetra does have the ability to use one with it. I'm not really an authority, but if you are interested, you can go to their website to see the different models and what they include.

You will not get maximum growth, but it certainly did make a difference on my 29 gallon tank. You can use 2 of them, and alternate starting them and refilling them by 2 weeks. I soon replaced the fermentation tank with a 3 liter bottle, but used the diffuser, which is not a bad design due to it's simplicity. You could also get a powered diffuser to use with the system that certainly would be enough for your 29.

I would try contacting a service representative from Fluval to present this question to. Perhaps he/she will have advice to make it work as desired, or perhaps recommend a more suitable filter for your system. I know the pump on this is very strong and would most likely still work (possibly not as efficient tho!) as long as both the input and outputs are fully submerged. But I wouldn't risk it without seeking advice from the manufacturer or a true expert in the field.

yes, this unit works well enough for both of those size tanks- you wont need to run the protein skimmer as much for the 30 gallon depending on what you have going on in it. Id suggest setting it up on a timer and just have it go on ever so often to scrub the water up :)

Nothing beats good circulation for healthy fish and extra cost for s better unit pays off. I have a FX 6, 406 and 206. I also have experience with eheim 2073 and 2075. All these filters are great. The eheim are very quiet but the fluvals may also be just as quite. I really like the FX6 the best especially with the automatic air purge. Eheims occasionally develop some air and the 406/206 will actually cause impeller clatter which resolves be repriming. The FX6 is the most bang for the buck. Easy maintenance and so much mechanical sponge surface area you could go for months. Emperor makes the best UV sterilizers that really kill parasites. Protein skimmer is a must for salt tank.

I replaced the filter with a fluval filter. Yeah, it was strong and dangerous in my opinion. I just sold this tank! It is an awesome tank! More on the fluval mini filter, you can adjust the current. Make sure you can return it because I have found some models of the filter to be noisy.
