UV Sterilization Recommendations?

YourPalCM · 07-17-2004, 02:17 AM

Can anyone recommed a good UV Sterilizer? In particular, one that would work well with a Fluval 404 filter?

I think the general concensus on a good UV sterilizer would be the Coralife Turbo Twist.

Agreed (re: CL TT). And top-notch warranty/support too.

Great customer service and quick response...I had my TT for just about three months when the bulb blew out. They're supposed to last almost a year with continuous use (never turning off) and so I emailed customer service. All I had to do was fax them a copy of my receipt and they mailed me a new bulb free.

Good thing I placed an order for one of these while it was on sale.. my tank is beginning to be filled with green water.

I thought there was an issue with the TT leaking from one of the seals, but from what I remember this was fixed (via a redesign of the product.) Anyone have a serial number range for the defective units?

Just started running the turbotwist sterilizer, after 2 days the green water disappeared. I had major hair algae and since the uv was working properly, I also did 25% water changes during those 2 days. Good product!
