Damir: I put it in 5 gallon betta fish tank when it started growing algae and it did not work. I cleaned the tank and kept light in the filter section according to the instructions and even after cleaning tank still did not work. It was waste of money, time and effort. Do not buy this light. Find better ways to keep your fish tank clean. Only 1 star because light did turn on and time did work, but did not do anything to keep tank clean as advertised.

Jason: I am thrilled. My tank suffered from a persistent algae bloom which no water treatment could fix. I came across the idea of UV light on a forum and purchased this one. Within three days My tank which was almost completely opaque with greenish blur, was so crystal clear. I wanted to taste the water... Just don't put this light in the same tank space as your creatures. I have a back filtration system so it was a perfect setup.

After reading some of the reviews I feel I should emphasize DO NOT PUT THIS BULB IN AN AQUARIUM WITH FISH UNLESS SHROUDED!! IF YOUR FISH ARE EXPOSED TO THE LIGHT YOU ARE HURTING OR KILLING YOUR FISH!
I purchased this UV-C bulb for a DIY Aquarium Sanitizer project. I wanted the option of using it as an in-tank sanitizer where fish are present and be able to put the naked bulb in a filter partition so I designed and printed a shroud into which you can insert the bulb. It uses a small water pump and features a helical water channel that significantly increases the exposure time for a better chance of killing viruses and bacteria. I verified that the bulb does emit UV-C light using a banana and a piece of tape. It also emits visible light BUT DO NOT LOOK AT THE LIGHT!! At the time of the first use I had the remnants of a bacteria bloom so the water was a bit cloudy. The water was very clear after 2 days with my DIY Sanitizer running. Now I occasionally put it in overnight as a touch up and even used it when I discovered my guppies had Camallanus worms to kill any larvae drifting in the water.
