Where can I get a good UV for 100 gallon?

[1percula]

Any recommendations for a particular model? I'll take new or used. Had an outbreak of Ich and lost a Gold Rim Tang and now my clowns are moving a little slow. Had a 9 watt turbo twist and obviously it's not enough. I know UV alone won't get it done, but I want to give it my best shot and I don't think 9 watts on 100 gallons is my best shot.

Don't waste your time and money on anything other than an Emperor Aquatics UV. We do a ton of these and they're AWESOME. They're massive too, so make sure you have the space. Let me know if you want me to get you a price on one.

I'm doing a custom 320 watt UV system for mine

Yeah I just bought a 40w Emperor Aquatics UV from bulk reef supply for my 120g. Cost about $330.

Here's a few pictures of it if you were wanting to get an idea about the size.

I have the gamma 40w UV for my tank, I wish it had a wiper, and i wish they put some guide rings inside the tube for the quartz enclosure, but for the price, it works for me.

Take a look at rhe emperor website to see their more intense units.

The gamma uv's aren't even close to an emperor. For example, the 50 watt emperor is a 5" or 6" diameter unit! The gamma is @ a 2" unit.
