UV flow rates for algae control

[TacticalBacon]

Hi I got the TMC Vector 850
It’s has a max flow rate of 674gph

When reading though other UVs they all had different recommended flow rates for different purposes.

Anyone have any idea what they are for the TMC Vector 850. I am running 460gph at the moment.

I think it depends on the type of algae you're battling. I followed Pentairs table as thats the UV I have...

But I lowered it a bit since it was still persisting. For my dinos 3x tank/sump turnover seemed to do the trick... I'm still in cautiously optimistic mode, but my tank is back to looking amazing. Slowling increasing teh lights now.
