Is this a good UV sterilizer?

[Namor]

Hi, I am looking for a good uv sterilizer for a 40 gallon breeder style reef tank. I found this one at a local shop and the price seems good, too good if you know what I mean, is this thing junk? or worth it? Coralife Turbo-twist 3X 9 watt UV sterilizer

I have never tried any other brand/type of UV sterilizer, but I bought one a while back to eliminate a water-born algae outbreak (turned my tank into pea soup). It cleaned the tank out (killed the algae) in about two days - so I would say it works.

Yeah, I was just suspicious you know, I know you get what you pay for, and that price just seemed kinda cut rate to just jump on it without asking.
