    Default Rust inside turbo twist!

    While doing a normal water change today I decided to clean my 6 month old Coral life turbo twist UV Sterilizer and found rust...wow not good. Apparently I am not the only one that this has happened to. Just thought I would share...pic included.

    One more pic...keep in mind this is after I cleaned it...the rest would not come off. 3 full sheets of paper towels full of rust.

    Looks like I need to check mine! I was going to replace the bulb anyway.

    Check out the liner or gasket around the glass that protects the bulb
