Description
Sera uvc xtreme 800 is a professional external canister filter with an integrated UV-C sterilizer designed for aquariums up to 800 liters. This advanced filtration system combines powerful mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration with germicidal UV-C treatment in a single unit. The result is exceptionally clean, clear, and healthy aquarium water from one compact device. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

Engineered by Sera in Germany, the UVC-Xtreme series represents the pinnacle of aquarium filtration technology. Every component is designed for maximum performance, durability, and ease of maintenance. German precision manufacturing ensures reliable operation under continuous 24-hour aquarium duty cycles, delivering consistent filtration quality year after year.
Integrated UV-C Sterilization
The built-in UV-C sterilizer in the sera uvc xtreme 800 destroys free-floating algae, bacteria, and parasites as water passes through the UV chamber. The 254-nanometer germicidal wavelength damages pathogen DNA, preventing reproduction and effectively eliminating these organisms from your aquarium water. This chemical-free sterilization produces crystal clear water without adding any substances to your tank.
Green water caused by free-floating algae is eliminated within days of operating the UV-C function. Disease-causing bacteria and parasites in their waterborne transmission phase are destroyed before they can infect your fish. The continuous sterilization provides ongoing protection that dramatically reduces disease outbreaks in community and breeding aquariums.
Multi-Stage Filtration
The sera uvc xtreme 800 provides comprehensive multi-stage filtration through separate compartments for mechanical, biological, and chemical media. Coarse mechanical media traps large particles, while fine media polishes the water to sparkling clarity. Biological media provides vast surface area for beneficial bacteria colonies that convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into safer nitrate.
The generous filter volume accommodates substantial media quantities, providing filtration capacity that matches the demanding requirements of large aquariums up to 800 liters. Multiple media baskets allow you to customize your filtration setup with different media types tailored to your specific aquarium needs. Easy-access basket design simplifies media maintenance and replacement.
Powerful Flow Performance
The high-efficiency pump in the sera uvc xtreme 800 delivers strong water flow that ensures complete tank circulation multiple times per hour. Adequate flow rate is essential for effective filtration because water must pass through the filter media frequently enough to maintain water quality. The pump design balances powerful flow with quiet operation for peaceful aquarium environments.
The flow rate is adjustable to match your specific aquarium requirements. Slower flow provides longer contact time with biological media for enhanced bacterial processing, while faster flow improves circulation and mechanical particle capture. Finding the optimal balance for your particular setup ensures the best possible filtration performance from this versatile system.
Quick Disconnect Valves
The sera uvc xtreme 800 features quick-disconnect valve assemblies that allow you to separate the filter from the hose system without draining or creating mess. Simply close the valves and disconnect the filter canister for maintenance. This convenience encourages more frequent maintenance because the process is quick and clean, leading to better long-term filter performance.
The valve system uses precision O-ring seals to maintain watertight connections during normal operation. These seals prevent any water escape during the thousands of pressurized operating hours between maintenance sessions. The disconnect mechanism is engineered for smooth, reliable operation even after extended periods of continuous use.
Ideal for Large Aquariums
The 800-liter capacity rating of the sera uvc xtreme 800 makes it suitable for large community aquariums, cichlid tanks, discus setups, and moderately stocked planted tanks. Large aquariums present unique filtration challenges because of the greater water volume and typically higher bioload. This filter provides the processing capacity needed to maintain excellent water quality in these demanding applications.
For heavily stocked large aquariums or tanks with messy eaters like large cichlids or predatory fish, the generous media capacity ensures adequate biological and mechanical processing power. The integrated UV-C adds an extra layer of water quality management that standalone filters cannot provide, making this an all-in-one solution for large tank filtration needs.
Energy Efficient Operation
Despite its powerful performance, the sera uvc xtreme 800 operates with energy efficiency in mind. The pump motor is designed for continuous operation at minimal electrical consumption, keeping ongoing operating costs manageable. In the UAE where air conditioning already drives electricity bills, energy-efficient aquarium equipment helps control the total cost of the hobby.
The UV-C lamp also operates at moderate wattage while delivering effective germicidal output. The amalgam lamp technology used in this filter maintains UV intensity across varying water temperatures more efficiently than standard UV lamps, providing better sterilization performance per watt of electricity consumed.
Easy Maintenance
Sera designed the sera uvc xtreme 800 for straightforward maintenance. The quick-disconnect system, removable media baskets, and accessible UV lamp chamber make routine service quick and simple. Regular maintenance intervals keep the filter operating at peak performance, ensuring your aquarium water remains consistently clean and healthy between services.
The transparent primer and level indicator features allow visual monitoring of filter status without opening the unit. Check water level and flow conditions at a glance to confirm normal operation. Any reduction in flow rate indicates it is time for media rinsing, while changes in water clarity suggest UV lamp replacement may be approaching.
