buying uv bulb replacement from internet
 

Anyone bought their from taobao? Can share feedback?

Uv bulb for reptiles?
I think better not buy from China. Not reliable, might blind your pets.
I bought from local lfs, few dollars more only.

For aquarium filter to kill algae.

I bought a 5w replacement from seaview already.

I just bought a uv bulb from taobao. $7 versus $16 from shop.

How to know whether it's equally effective as compared to angmoh brand?
I did some read up on uv lights (for reptiles) too and some said China ones don't actually emit real uv.
:o

When I get it in I will compare it by fitting it to my pond up setup and see if it kills the algae. The aquazonic one I bought is made in China as well, and it works.

May not be compatible or the life span wil

May not be compatible or the life span will be shorter.

i bought sunsun uv filter from taobao.... model jup 23

i will vouch it works, how i know? when my uv filter spoilt i had to wait about 2-3 weeks for the uv filter....... these 2-3 weeks i thought i was breeding algae... whole tank covered in brown algae... after i clean up the tank and reinstall the same UV filter.... now i only see specks of them on weekly basis

now is to see how long it can last but anyway have to change bulb every 6 months max
