80 watt Emperor HO (High Output).

cheap and powerful. 100% satisfied. odyssea 36 watt uv. bought from aquatraders for $60. works great. helped stop ich outbreak, no parasites since, and clears water up great. 36watt on 75 gallon at 175 gph. about 18" long for great contact time, about 3" diameter. nobody can dispute the brand cuz it works great, odyssea has come a long way.

Aqua Ultraviolet makes a great unit. A little pricey though, but worth it in my opinion.

+ 1 for the aquatrader light, just get the strong one and put a low flow pump one it.

If you want a good unit that doesn't cake up with calcium deposit on the quartz sleeve, get an Emperor aquatics. I've used a Pentair and Aqua units and they both do it except for the Emperor. They are not compact and cheap by any means, this is the 50 HO model.
