Anyone have a good uv to recommend for short term use then
That's not a thing sadly.. You can have either- but not both! :face-without-mouth:

Also, why short term?

At this stage, you're not going to be able to eradicate ich in your system with a UV. You can manage the population for sure, but eradication is not a realistic result.

For parasite management, you will need to go as big as your budget (and space!) allows. For parasite management, high wattage and low flow rate is the key - but again; you're looking at ich management- not eradication.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
