I don't use one unfortunately. I did however get a few hits after searching the forum, here's some info to sift through.

Search Ebay for "submersible UV 13". I bought mine for approx $40 with shipping. I have it on a 90 gallon and 8 hour timer. Works great for algae control.

Good Luck!!!

I've been using a TurboTwist 18W on the return of a Magnum 350.

Much like ink cartridges for printers, it's also worth considering the cost of replacement bulbs when considering what to get. You really need to be replacing them every year or so. I recently found bulbs for my TurboTwists at American Aquarium Products (Google it) for $20 each.... a relative bargain!
