Hello reefers,
I own a Eheim Reeflex UV 800 and it seems the form factor and power source are exactly similar to the 1500 model. Hence I was wondering if I could simply put a 18w bulb (included with the 1500) inside a 800 unit when I change my 11w bulb ? The idea is to increase efficiency with my flow.

I reply to my own post for information of other reefers. NO you cant. Bulb Sockets are not the same.
