    Yeah I'm pretty sure I read one of your old posts a few months ago recommending them and that's how I heard about them. But they do look good... Here is a full tank shot.

    ;D I just used my last 4 actinics so when it's time to replace those in a few months I'll check out the UVL's. Thanks Tangster.

    I paid 100 each, I could only find one retailer that sold them in Canada (well online anyway).
