I'm looking at either purchasing a Coralife turbo twist 9 watt UV or a Aqua Euro 15 watt UV and was wondering if anyone has any experience with one or both and could recommend one over the other. The Aqua Euro is about $70 more expensive so just want to make sure I'm spending wisely. This will be going on a RSM 250. Thanks everyone

Aloha,

I would just buy the less expensive one because it is a good unit and the replacement bulbs are easy to find and 9 watts is enough for that size of tank.

Did you know?
I place my reef tanks in the sunny window where natural UV does the job. Smile

I have the Coralife and love it. Had a few different ones over the last 5 or so years and they have all done great for me. Dont have any first hand experience with the other brand though.
