Aqua UV 25 Watt flow rates

[Nick Barbier]

Does anyone know the suggested flow rate for a Aqua UV 25 watt Sterilizer for a 125g reef tank to sterilize dinos?

400gph is the recommended salt water volume.

To kill bacteria and single cell algae such as dinos, 30,000 µw/cm2 is sufficient. Anything under 1200 gph will work for dinos. Also, Aqua UV rates their output at the end of lamp life, the kill rate on a new lamp will be much better, keep that in mind when accounting for flow.

Thanks Mark
