New Member. May 7, 2011. #3. Plexiglass filters out most UV rays smaller than 300nm (some Plexiglass is treated to filter all the way to 400nm), UVB rays range from 280nm to 315nm. According to the info that ZooMed has out on their ReptiSun 5.0 bulbs (both linear and compact) the output of UVB from them ranges from 300nm to 320nm.
How Does UV Light Work as a Disinfectant? UV light is the invisible light between 200 – 400 nm in wavelength. UV light is sub-categorized as UV-A, UV-B or UV-C based wavelength. UV-A occupies the wavelengths of 315 – 400 nm, UV-B 280-315 nm and UV-C 200 – 280nm. UV-C light (or radiation) is effective in killing bacteria and viruses.
Conservation UV acrylic is more expensive than conservation UV glass but offers the best in UV filtering and strength. Finally, you can have it all with Conservation Reflection Control® acrylic . This upgrade option provides maximum UV protection, optimal clarity plus the benefits of a lightweight, non-reflective surface and high breakage
Fortunately, the higher energetic part of UV-B; 280 – 295 nm, is filtered by the stratosphere and does not reach the earth’s surface, UV-A (315 – 400 nm), has energy between 389 and 300 KJ mol-1 and is less harmful for organic materials than UV-B. Visible (400 – 760 nm). and infrared (760 – 2500nm.)

Then place the sheet on a table with the marked side facing up. Bend the acrylic over the edge to cut the acrylic sheet. For a Dremel, you should clamp the material down and slowly make the cut. Water will help ensure that the Dremel does not overheat and ruin the plastic. Sand the acrylic after for a smooth edge.
OPTIX ACRYLIC SHEET. Available in OPTIX extruded, continuous cast (OPTIX-L Series) and OPTIX cell cast PMMA sheet, crystal clear or colored, Plaskolite OPTIX is a versatile, general-purpose acrylic sheet. Ideal for almost any application. OPTIX boasts a high molecular weight that enables superior fabrication and forming.
OD measures the attenuation of light passing through the laser filter. It is calculated by a mathematical expression. Using a formula, OD is measured in W/cm2, where W is the power density of the laser and cm2 is the area of the lens. While OD is a good indicator of the attenuation of light, it is not a precise measurement.
The UV light does not have a shut-off facility. Since the UV light is invisible, you cannot determine whether the unit is functioning. However, UV water purifiers have LED indicators to notify users. UV water purification requires pre-filtering to remove other contaminants. UV Water Purification – Frequently Asked Questions
Every 4 hours and 20 seconds, the CrazyCap purifier switches on and shines a deep UV light onto the inside of the bottle. This sterilizes the surface and ensures the likes of mold, viruses and bacteria can’t build up in your bottle between uses. This product doesn’t require backwashing multiple times like some water bottle filters.

A much better and safer approach to reduce nitrate is to perform water changes. The worst that could happen is you get a little wet. UV Sterilisers should only be used on a fully cycled and established aquarium. UV is not discriminatory, meaning it can (and does) kill all forms of bacteria in the water column.
The exhibit should be designed to eliminate as much UV as possible. UV light can be avoided by selecting light sources that do not emit UV or adding UV-filters to existing light sources. Framed objects and display cases should use UV-filtering acrylic. Daylight should be reduced by positioning of the case and filtering.
Harmful vs Healthful UV Light. When talking about UV light, it’s important to understand that UV offers both harmful and healthful effects. In the case of certain products, harmful UV rays can speed up the rate of oxidation and degradation and greatly compromise the integrity of products. On the other hand, healthful UV light can act as a
