Your best bet to go find a used one. Or if your handy you can find the components and make your own.

Odyssey 36 watt.
Can be found on amazon, eBay.
Have used a bunch of them. Well made. Inside reflected that does not contact water. Well designed, no weak/twist o-ring points. Universal bulb that’s used by many much more expensive brands.

Brand new around $45

What is your purpose for UV? If its for water clarity and algae reduction, the small cheap ones will be suffice but if its for parasite eradication, u need to go big and oversized. I have a 40w for my 100 gallon and it has done wonders since i added it bit those are expensive.

You could get 2 cheaper models.
It’s all about wattage verses flow rate.

I’ve heard the jebao ones work well. Not too expensive either
