If anyone ever wanted to know if these are good to get, YES !
If your a hardcore puffer/aquarium person like me this is eventually a must have item. It kills free floating algae and all nasties/parasites. The bulbs last 11mos. of continuous, usage they will still glow but will not be effective anymore.
5w = 5-15gal tanks. (100-250gph)
9w = 20-45gal tanks. (100-250gph)
18w = 50-90gal tanks. (100-250gph)
36w = 100-150gal tanks. (100-250gph)
The pic below is a TetraPond 9w (With the canister filter gph at about 100gph.)

(Tetra's flow/gal rates are just for killing algae NOT nasties/parasites.) 8-)
