TMC commercial UV unit -Any experiences?

[FarmerTy]

I'm thinking about upgrading my AquaUV 57-watt unit and found this TMC Commercial 110-watt unit for a reasonable price.

Anybody have experience with it? I know AquaUV and Emperor Aquatics are the two brands to trust but this one seems like a viable unit. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the hard sell by the US distributor because he has multiple blog websites created confirming the units awesomeness but obviously his blogs are going to be biased as he has a vested interest in selling the units.

When I went to the Quality Marine website, their one page product descriptor was actually much more convincing for me than the US distributor hard sell. They mention use on their own fish/invertebrate rearing facilities and their recommended sizing chart seems very much more accurate than AquaUV or Emperor Aquatics recommendations as I feel their irradiance levels are too low and also turnover per hour as well.

There's not really much to any UV unit, UV resistant PVC, quartz sleeve, minimum distance between water and bulb, and long lasting ballast.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I guess I'll let you guys know what I think. Ordered one just to give it a try.

Any update on this?

Works stellar. Fish were not showing symptoms for a year and then when I moved and hasn't hooked it up, they all got it real bad again.
