Hey

Looking for a UV sterilizer for an 80 gallon tank. Lemme know

Thanks
 
I would avoid a used one like the plague. First thing is you don’t know how it’s been handled or how old the lamp is, any used savings could quickly be negated by a new lamp. Blow a Ballast and your in the hole cost wise. If it leaks, it could kill your entire tank. I really like my Turbo Twist, Lamps last 12 to 18 months. When it comes time to replace the Lamp, don’t assume you know how to take it apart, get out the instructions, so you don’t damage it,

has yours leaked at all? Ive read that the turbo twists leak or have had a history of leaking with some people
 
I have a new in box never used aqua top UV.

I paid $200 for it, I’d let it go for $150 picked up.

Never had a leak, I’ve had one apart Four Times. Like I said get out the instructions. Also there’s an odd part in the box, with no mention as to what it is. It goes on the Glass end of the lamp, as a spacer. Just ordered a new one for my 120, building a manifold for Water flow. Things are tight in the cabinet, so I’m on a scavenger hunt for the fittings.
 
sorry your too far for me to pickup. Thanks though
If you are interested in meeting up I can drive an hour south or so and meet around Wilmington Del. Or so.
