Usage
Perfect for freshwater and lightly stocked marine setups, the CTUV-H6F excels in community tanks, planted aquariums, and breeding environments. Simply place the filter in a corner, connect to a 24V DC power source, and let the built‑in pump circulate water through the sponge and UV chamber. The separate switches allow you to run the pump alone during daylight hours and activate the UV light at night to target green water and reduce smell.
