Hi All,
I'm planning to get a UV Sterilizer (Jebao to save some money) mainly to help prevent cyano, Ich, etc. My questions:
1. For a 120 gallon tank, should I get 18 or 36 watt?
2. Do I need to run it 24/7, or would 6, 12, or 18 hours per day still get the job done?
3. How much flow should push through the sterilizer? And are there any simple ways to measure the flow? I will be splitting my return pump's flow, so I can't just go by the numbers on the pump's GPH rating...
Thanks!
