searching for some UV advice?

[aquatechy]

Hi Guys,

I have a bit of an issue that id like to get some help on. Here's the intro: i have a 25-watt Aqua UV sterilizer for my 100 gallon tank. The thing is that im finding it really really hard to buy a replacement bulb for it. When i first bought the UV from Big Als, they brought in a regular stock of bulbs as well, so i had no concerns. But now, i've been chasing them for 5-6 months, and they haven't seen a UV bulb for that long. They say that they will be definately seing some in the summer. So, should i wait it out and hope to get a bulb, or should i put some money into a Pentair Lifeguard UV? I know for sure that i can get a bulb for the pentair without an issue. Any opinions?

Thanks so much!
