I’m thinking all of us will have different colors on the same corals depending on our tanks, lights and cameras. Guess you just get what you get.
Very true, we've seen that a few times where there are just slight differences in each of our tanks. That's what keeps it interesting haha

What are people's opinions on UV Sterilizer brands? I heard pentair has issues with the body housing degrading.

I was reading reviews on AquaUltraviolet having the housing leak. I was just reading the sales threads and someone is selling one close to me so I kinda want to know if anyone has used it.

Any opinions/recommendations?

I've never used one aside from a green killing machine for dinos temporarily. I read the same about pentair for anything longterm, aquauv seem to be fine...personally, the lifeguard is what I would grab. I've had friends with them and read a lot on them...price and quality seem to be great

Seems to be the consensus as well. A guy an hour away is selling a practically new AquaUv 57 watt for just over half retail price.

Which is about the price of a lifeguard new. There's been several 55 watt ones I've seen for 250 or so for sale...I need an 80

I bought a Lifegard 55w for the multiple plumbing options, swappable internal PVC collars and it fit inside my stand well.

Have an older 25w AquaUv that I had no issues with. Just wanted a larger one.
