I have a Coralife Turbotwist 36 watt sterilizer on my Red Sea 450 Reefer. The sterilizer leaks water
into the quartz tube where the bulb and electrical are. About a year ago Coralife replaced the unit at no charge which I thought was very nice of them.
I disassembled the unit today to replace the bulb and found some water inside the tube again and the bulb's contacts were black not brass colored. (corroded)
A couple of questions:
1 Do you really need a UV sterilizer?
2 What seems to be a more reliable brand?
3 is there a do it yourself fix that works?
Thanks!
