My love for what lies beneath the sea is due to Jacques-Yves Cousteau: and the television show ‘The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau’ which introduced me to the wonders of the oceans. Creatures as alien as any that Hollywood could create and colors so vivid and bright that artists couldn’t match them. And all this was found in nature. Thank you Mr. Cousteau. Wikepidiea — Jacques-Yves Cousteau: Ocean Explorer, Conservationist and Father of Modern Scuba He may have been the most famous undersea explorer of our time. At the time of his death, CNN remembered Jacques Cousteau by saying, “For millions of people who see the ocean only through the porthole of television, the voice of the sea had a soft French accent.” Indeed, Cousteau brought the undersea world to millions through books and films, and also helped thousands to enjoy the undersea world themselves as the co-inventor of the Aqua-Lung, which was the precursor to modern scuba diving equipment. During his lifetime, Captain Cousteau created more than 120 television documentaries and 50 books, won four Oscars and 10 Emmys, founded an environmental protection foundation, invented the Aqua-lung, correctly predicted the echolocation abilities of dolphins and porpoises before they were discovered, served as a consultant to the United Nations, and attained many other accomplishments too numerous to list.

Like I mentioned in my message to you folks I will try to start doing more unboxings and reviews as requested. So today my package came in with my Coralife Turbo-Twist 3x UV Sterilizer. So I figured id do an unboxing and short review while I was at it since I have had previous experience with theses UV sterilizers. My experience has been quite good I might add, the best out of the quite few Ive used. Even though, I havent had that many UV sterilizers to work with, I have been around the between friends and family, as well as a ton of research as I do with almost anything I buy. Between price, effectiveness, ratings, design, maintenance, flexibility/adaptability, and overall quality seemed to point to this one. Now due to the size of my tanks the only ones I have had are the 3x in the video, and the 6x I had before. Though like I said I have used a couple other UV sterilizers but as you can see my experience with them is limited. Now for more information on UV sterilizers I will be adding a video to the filter series for that, so I am more focused on this model more than the works. Anyways I have to say I am impressed with these UV sterilizers and will probably be the only ones I buy unless I find better. I suggest these for any tank, unless your trying to grow diseases and algae. In fact part of my remodeling for my tanks includes my implementing these on most of my tanks, if not all. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Thanks for tuning in!
