I dont use UV's on my tanks inside, only on the ponds outside, since the Florida sun makes green pea soup out of them otherwise.
And I have to say, I am very happy with the Aqua UV sterilizers (I think thats how they are called). They come in two versions - with and without wipers which mechanically wipe off the bulb inside without the need of opening the whole unit.
I got the one without wiper since the Aqua is very easy and fast to open and clean anyway. I got mine from Pondkeeping.com, which advertises on Koivet.com, but you probably could get them at Petsolutions or the pond sections at DrsFostersmith.com. Eric Johnson did a great job on recommending the right size for my ponds (POndkeeping.com)....
