Understanding how wattage, flow rate and tank turnover volume affects how UV treats pathogens vs bacteria/algae does that still apply when using ozone injected into UV-C or does flow rate no longer matter?

I can pre-filter the water down to at least 100 micron but might be able to reduce that further. Does that also matter since ozone will be converted to hydroxyl radicals which as I understand it, would oxidize organic particulates as well. Seeking to effectively remedy pathogens but at a higher flow than standard UV would allow. Can oversize the wattage as intended QT container will be 20g or less.
