So my 40W UV has crapped out on me, and so im now looking for advice on what are some trusted brands and models of UV sterilizer you guys have tried and tested?

Also, how long have you had that unit running an is there any problems with them?

I've been thinking of maybe going with a coral life turbo twist, but as mentioned, am looking for some input from other members with what they use and how well its been working / not working?

Aqua Uv and Wlim are the top ones that Ive researched, actually a post on here that I made seeking the same answer your looking for. Just keep away from Turbo Twist...dont me to offend anyone that use it.
 
Thanks, but may i ask what you dot like about turbo twist?

Send Kendragon a PM..... He works with Wlim.

He can assure you get the right one for your application......
 
My old thread is somewhere lingering here, Its filled with info about uv sterilizers. The turbo twist has basically been calculated with Kendragons skills in water chemistry to not be a very reliable source of uv sterilization. Main factor is that the water flowing through the twist is too far away from the light it self which basically leads to more of a better clearness in the water...however in effectiveness to eliminate or reduce parasites in the aquarium.
 
Thanks, i guess i'll keep search for your old thread then since i didnt see it before...
