An excellent installation, I like the system of blocking the UVC lamp to the cabinet. Hose clamps are very useful in any case. Have a good day Daniel
Thank you very much Marco.
Excellent directions and very nice that they give you different size fittings, and the choice to buy the extra piping as well. We have never used the UV clarifier of any kind and big lad made reference to the speed at which it could be affective, depending on the amount of water to which definitely brings up a good question as well🤔🤔most likely they have tested it different volumes and pressures and speeds though👍👍 let us know how things work on the future of course as we are interested in finding out….have a great Sunday Daniel😀😀👋👋
Thanks boys. Yeah remember it is designed to work with the FX range (and others) so I am positive they'll have done their duedilligence and stress testing but there are variables to play with; how many hours you run the bulb for, the option to slow the flow rate, etc... For me the previous model gained a good reputation among those that required it's service and this version is a big step up hey. 👍
It looks straight forward and easy to install, now you will get the benefits of UVC sterilization in your tank.
From what I understand, this is more of a UV Clarifier, as not so much a sterilizer. It just helps get rid of the green algae or cloudy water. It doesn't sterilize, like for example, get rid of things like ICK.
great job explaining all the different ways you can install it!
being able to remove the UV from the clip is really handy for cleaning days when you need some extra hose length.
Thank you very much. Yeah definitely. Being able to easily remove it when required is very useful hey.
Good stuff, looking forward to see how it works out. I like the hose clamps as I always worry about the hose popping off.
Yeah they take the worry away mate hey.
This next on my shopping list 😊
Another aquarium item you can get over there. That's 2 out of 2. I'm doing well here hey. 😆
@@DanielKeepingFish you’re learning 😒
Looks like an interesting piece of equipment there, Daniel! I like the mounting clip and it was nicely explained! 🙂👍
Another great video Daniel I need one of these
Thank you very much. Remember I'll be giving one of these away shortly so make sure you're in the running. Might save you a few quid hey. 👍
Looking interesting boss. Thanks for the instructions
It's a good piece of kit mate.
Great instructional video, really enjoyed seeing how to set it up. Love when you do these kind of videos, make it really easy to follow. 👍
Thanks very much, that's really kind of you to say so.
I don't currently use either canister filters or uv s but you are making me rethink that
Great job as always
Thanks very much Chris. If you ever need to get one at least you're aware of a reliable option.
Daniel your narration is absolutely brilliant, tidy job as well. My only worry with these is that the speed that the FX6 pushes water through would it actually do anything
Thank you sir. I don't find it as natural and easy to speak on camera (or mic) as your good self so your kind compliment certainly provides confidence and relief.
Remember mate these clarifiers are designed to work in conjunction with the FX range that as you know pack a decent punch in terms of flow rate but also there is scope for adjusting parameters if trying to tackle an algae outbreak or similar organic catastrophe. 😉👍
Great info
Thank you.
Awesome video lord Daniel!!!! Definitely looks like a nice well designed piece of equipment mate! Can't wait for an update video on it! Thanks for sharing mate 😊
Clarifier episode 2: A New Hope haha.. 😉
@@DanielKeepingFish hahahaha yeah lol.
@@DanielKeepingFish really enjoyed this step by step guide on how to connect it up to the FX filters 😀

Really nice closeups BTW
Thanks very much mate.
Just FYI, you only need to take off the outlet side. Just close the intake and take off the outlet. Also, it seems like this is very limited within the USA, and can only find this Clarifier on eBay or one of the eBay carrier websites. Not even Amazon carries this (so far) or major pet stores? I've also learned that it is better to run the clarifier 24/7, instead of the power surge it would go through every day by continuously turning on and off on a timer and make more wear on the bulb.
You could mention that the adapters that come with the unit will fit the Fluval 07 canister models too, which is what I have. I rather have the higher wattage of this fluval uvc bulb over the 3Watt model.
Good Video. It seems that there are a total of 3 hoses when using the wall mount installation option. I understand the extra hose you have to purchase that plugs into the Out on the FX and then into the UVC Clarifier. Is the other cable that plugs into the other side of UVC Clarifier, the main Out pipe from the aquarium? It seems that in the IN pipe doesn’t change placement. The rest of the hoses do.
So the pipe from the aquarium that draws the water out and to the filter remains the same. The new additional piece of tubing goes from the filter to the clarifier and the original return tube now goes from the clarifier to the aquarium.
Hope that makes it clearer and helps.
@@DanielKeepingFish Hi. I believe I understood you. Just to be sure; For your first sentence, are you referring to the tube that goes on the IN side of the FX Filter? That one does not change? I will be purchasing the FX Clarifier and the extra tube, this Thursday.
@@GAMINGMATRIXXX yes that is correct. The pipe carrying the water to the filter you can leave as is. Well shut the valve off whilst you're installing the clarifier but that is all.
It's the pipe transferring the water back to the aquarium that you add the clarifier to.
@@DanielKeepingFishThank you for all of the help from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello again. I received all of the parts and followed your instructions exactly. Everything is set up and working well. Thank again!
Another great video Daniel!
A quick question if you don't mind please?
Do you ever need to change anything in the UVC Clarifer or carry out any maintenance on it?
All the best,
Andy.
Thanks Andy.
No mate. Long as you're doing your routine maintenance including cleaning out the pipes every now and then you shouldn't need to do much. Obviously you'll need to replace the bulb when it goes done but it's got a pretty long life hey.
Just make sure you don't run it dry. I normally pull the plug on mine when I'm servicing the filter and make sure everything is full of water before plugging it back in.
If you mount it horizontally like I have sometimes need to tilt it each way to make sure there's no air in it after restarting the filter but that's all.
@@DanielKeepingFish
Thanks Daniel,
I really appreciate the advice.
All the best,
Andy.
when using an inline uv set, it's very important to check the maximum water flow rate otherwise it won't do anything.
You're right I should have covered that but bare in mind these have been designed and built to be compatible with the FX range so any other filter you combine them with will be a step down and the clarifier should more than cope. Unless you are using it in a sump system which I'll be the first to say I know little about but enough to know it should cope even in that scenario.
@@DanielKeepingFishHave you seen the Aquael Hypermax 4500? It has two outlets but is very powerful.😊
I have used clarifiers in ponds but find them ok on aquariums but not required when you can control the light and nutrients where a pond has natural light its harder
I run mine for 12 hrs at night 😊
Yeah the cool thing is that we can run them just how long we need and adjust that if anything changes hey.
I watched this vid a few months ago, so I have now bought one. What baffles me is why would you have the filter on the out flow instead of the inflow?
It's because you want the water as clean as possible when it travels past the bulb. Don't want gunk and waste passing through it so the water needs to go through the filter first.
@@DanielKeepingFish Thx.
Finally let me in lol
Haha.. not sure what was happening with that.
Did this quickly spike your nitrate levels like it did in my tank?
Maybe Nitrite levels, but shouldn't for nitrate. And the best way to combat that is with something like Fritzyme 7.
Dear Daniel:
Aussie Aquatic, Colin Barsby recently lost several, of his lovely fish, to what he believes was “old tank syndrome.” He thinks that microbes present, in his, terrific set-up killed some fish he added. Although fish that had been in that tank, for some time appeared to be immune to those microbes; fish he recently added perished, when introduced, to the tank. Do you think a UV clarifier would prevent such an issue?
Thank you for sharing your, interesting unboxing video, as well as this, installation video, of this, fine product.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
I don't think so mate. If you're wanting to eliminate harmful microbes and bacteria it tends to be a sanitiser you want which works on a different light frequencies I think. Clarifiers are really only for tackling algae and organic matter in the water column really.
Dear Daniel:
I see. I hope my aquaria don't suffer this issue.
The plants, in my, 29-gallon, CO2-injected, breeder tank are growing very quickly, as is an ephemeral species of algae. I knock that off, with a brush. I'm hopeful it will soon die off. I'm glad I didn't spend $15 on a quarter-sized ball of floating crystalwort (Riccia fluitans). The tiny tuft of that has more than doubled, in size.
Thank you, for your, continued assistance.
Sincerely,
Brinegar
Does the elbow connector come with the clarifier
It does yes.
Thank you
@@kathleenhannmann760 no problem.
My Uv bulb has already blown
