    Do any of you know if there are any HOB UV filter combos (with UV built-in) available in South Africa. I've seen the Aquatop PFU-25 and it seems pretty ideal for what I need it to do...

    Alternatively, are there any mini UV sterilizers available in SA?

    Wow, that looks cool. Haven't seen them in East London yet... Don't think I've seen anyone mention them before either. Best you could probably do is get a Boyu mini canister filter with UV. Retail is about R500-R600 I think.

    I'm sure one of the Sponsors could import one for you.

    What are you wanting to achieve with the UV?

    Well, my breeding tanks are currently under a carport outside. These tanks get some sunlight. Unfortunately even this little amount was enough to turn some of the tanks green.

    I just need it to clear up the water so I can keep an eye on feeding and fish numbers.
