So, I have this little 8w gamma UV from current USA that I've used for over a decade. I'm thinking about redesigning my plumbing to be more efficient.

Is it even worth the effort to mess with this thing? What's the word on these old gamma UV units?

8w for a 55g plus all your water volume? No, not worth messing with.

Bummer. Guess a smart uv is in my future.

I always recommend AquaUV products for people looking to use UV.

Well then. Thanks gents. If I ever run into a spare 300 bucks I know where it's going.

Time to pick up some extra shifts:
