I had to battle dinos in the past and ran UV to combat. I noticed my torches did so much better when I ran a UV sterilizer but it wasn't an ideal setup so I want to upgrade.

I plan to plumb directly into and out of the main display and horizontally mount on the wall slightly lower than the main tanks water line.

I have a 3 tank plumbed together setup with about 210 gallons of total water volume. What would be a good size/brand/model all-around UV sterilizer and adjustable pump nowadays?


I was initially thinking Aqua Ultraviolet 57 Watt + an AI Axis or something.

Thanks!
 
Aqua UV make good units, you could also look into Pentair.
