I'd not worry about that unit its not much and the fact they say it will handle up to a 100 Gal tank is total Bull. As for the easy hook up ?? I never heard of one that used a air pump And for a 90 I assume the name ' You'd be better off getting a minimum of 15 watt's and thats for a good U/V of prove quality like a Aquanetics and or Rainbow lifeguard. Coral life has a nice unit out also.. But Its not a miracle drug or a magic bullet for the tank..
And also after about 7 to 10 weeks the Lamps start to wain a bit as the redox will fall off is what I have noticed many times.. When testing them and in comparison to using a Ozone Generator. Thats what I'd suggest rather then a U/V. Also the key to these is flow control past the bulb and I don't see how with air lifting the water..
