I have a 20watt deltec uv steriliser on its way and just needed some advice.
it’s rated for 500 litres heavy stock up to 1000 litres lightly stocked at a flow rate of 1-2x tank turn over per hour At 30,000icrowatts/sec/sq.cm
I have a 250 litre reef tank and wanted to use it for algae control.
so does this mean I need a flow rate of about 250 litres per hour?
also what’s the most effective way to install it I watched a few of the brs videos that say a closed loop in the display is best but would rather not have a pump in my dt
would a pump in my first sump chamber feeding the uv and the outlet up into the dt be ok or is there any more effective ways to install
thanks
