I purchased the Coralife Turbo-Twist Ultraviolet Sterilizer 3x9 watt for my 120 gallon tank and it seems to work just fine.

Edit: Picked up at Pure Reef

There is a sticky on the reef discussion forum with good information about UV sizing and usage. As for where to buy on, look for deals on here. If you go new, any of our sponsor will be able to help you out. Just don't under size it. Read the sticky. Better to purchase the correct one the first time.

This.


UV is one of those things that it's either done right, or better not to do at all. I've done tons of research and have tons of practical application experience with UV's and there doesn't seem to be any middle ground.

I run a 150 watt Emperor Aquatics Hi Output Smart UVI like it a lot on my 465 gallon system. I like it a lot. Emperor makes wattages for any volume reef system.

Aqua UV 40 watt on my 150 and Turbo Twist 36 watt on my 125

I have one for sale, but would only recommend it for algae control.
