So I bought a small UV light and it doesn’t fully fit into my sump how It spits water everywhere. My simple rigged fix was to put a long tube on it and stuff it into the water level, will these bubbles be an issue

Bubbles although unwelcomed will not lower its ability to shock organisms passing through

I managed to get the bubbles less

Will 70gph flow out mean that it only has 70gph going around the UV . Won’t that kill everything including beneficial stuff because it has so much contact time
