I have a 150 gallon reef tank, total water volume of less than 175 gallons max flow rate will be approx 1250 gph.
Someone who's opinion I value suggested going with the Aqua UV classic 80 watt Link and that there's no such thing as going 'too big'.
According to Aqua UV's site, going above 75,000 µw/cm2 will destroy the planktonic food supply for the reef and this means i should go with a 40 watt link
If thats the case then i should go with an 80 watt however everything i've read basically says go big or go home. Are there any real world negative issues going with the 80 watt?
Thanks
Jason
