What brand of UV filters would you recommend

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm going to build my own little box to house and mount an Eheim 2217 and a Coralife TT 18w in it. As soon as I have the extra money that is. :)

I have had a 36 watt Coral life turbo twist on my 240 gallon tank in line on a Rena xp3 for over 6 months and my water is clear and I haven't had a spec of algae. Probably need to replace the bulb in a few months but so far I am happy with it. I hear a lot of bad mouthing on the TT, but no proof to back it up?

Okay I am in the same boat and new to uv. I need a uv setup for my 225 with a 55 gallon sump for parasites. I have been looking at the TMC 110 watt setup but have not been able to find any reviews on if it is a quality unit? However, their site has really good information on uv application. Kendragon is this a good unit, overkill, or is their a better uv setup for the same amount of coin? Thanks, thread highjack over.

Personally, I think that is too much wattage for a 225g. Two pin bulbs were used on older designs which require access from both ends of the unit. Todays newer design incorporate 4 pin bulbs requiring access on one end only.
