Iv changed my uv sterilizer bulb probably around 1 year ago, i run 57w 24/7. And i noticed its no longer working. Its behind my tank. I dont always check on it. Id that normal for bulbs to just burn out? Flow on it is the same runnint it on vectra s2 seperate loop
 
UV bulbs usually don’t burn out because people should be changing then every year. The light loses brightness over time.
I would replace the bulb first. If thats not it then it could be the ballast or starter.
