Help with UV for Reefer 250

MadMickTheMonk · Mar 12, 2023

I can get this UV for a really good price but it's rated for a 600 litre tank. I have a Red Sea Reefer 250, would this UV still be OK? I was planning on plumbing it into the return pump.

Thanks for your help, new to the hobby.

Says it's rated for up to 160 gallons so you'd be fine on a 250. I don't have any first-hand experience with this specific unit, though.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me on this, my only worry was that it might be too big because its rated for a 600 litre tank. The UV wouldn't be too powerful?

Thanks

UV wattage is like HP for a car... you can never have too much.
