ABSTRACT:
An ultraviolet sterilizer assembly for use in fish tanks having a vertically oriented tubular housing that forms a sterilizer chamber therein. A top cap and a bottom cap close the respective open ends of the tubular housing. A vertically oriented elongated ultraviolet lamp is positioned in the sterilizer chamber of the tubular housing. A pair of inner tubular members extend substantially the length of the tubular housing and they are mounted in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp. The bottom ends of the inner tubular members are joined by a tubular connector. The top cap has manifold housing portion having an inlet passageway connected to the top end of one of the inner tubular members and an outlet passageway connected to the top end of the other tubular member. An inlet port and an exhaust port allows the respective passageways to be connected to an outside source of water that is to be sterilized by passing it downwardly through one of the inner tubular members in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp and then upwardly through the other inner tubular member in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp to irradiate or kill small organisms and sanitize the water. A support bracket assembly allows the ultraviolet sterilizer assembly to be supported on the outside of the wall of a fish tank.
