Aqua Ultraviolet – Advantage 2000+ Hang-On UV Sterilizer, 15 Watt

Overview

A compact, hang-on-back UV sterilizer that adds serious clarity and pathogen control without taking up sump space. The Advantage 2000+ 15W mounts directly on the aquarium rim—perfect for quarantine tanks, nanos/medium displays, and polishing loops where a simple bolt-on upgrade makes all the difference.

Key Features

• Hang-on design — no stand or wall mount needed

• 15W low-pressure UV-C lamp for algae, bacteria, and protozoa reduction

• Clear end cap to verify lamp-on status at a glance

• Quiet, compact body; ideal for display tanks or sumps

• Works with canister/returns or a small utility pump (pump not included)

Sizing & Flow Guidance
