I doubt you'll get ones that will fit, but you can just modify Neon UV's to fit up there.

oh yeah the uv.s should always be incorporated in ponds as it deffinitly kills tons of that green algae . but with smaller indoor tanks its not good for several reasons depending mainly on the inhabbitents of the tank though most fish or ocean life do better in non sterile water. the uv is absollutly unnescessary for freshwater fish unless your keeping discus or somthing.trust me i dont know what your keeping in your tank if its a saltwater fish only tank uv is allright but i say forget that maintain your water quality and stabillity weekly and youll get better results then a uv could ever bring. also those little led uvs could never put out the lummins that a store bought uv unit does so its not really doing any thing take them out before you end up getting electrical current running through your tank. put em in your 3gee.speaking of wich sorry guys i know this is not an aquarium forum if you want any help on your tank dragonfly email me at [email protected] else feel free to send me nude pictures of your girlfriends.holla
