Running an exhausted lamp past its interval means the unit looks like it is working while the algae it is meant to clump keeps passing straight through. Mark the fitting date somewhere you will see it, and replace on that schedule rather than waiting for green water to reappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever look directly at a lit UV-C lamp outside its housing.\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-C radiation damages eyes and skin.

Bioscape does not publish a UV dose for this unit, and parasite control requires a substantially higher, sustained dose than a clarifier delivers. Do not rely on it for disease control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293070115107,"sku":"BIS670D","price":50.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/BIS670d_4.png?v=1782871052","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-all-in-one-pond-filter-uvc-globe-8w","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
