Hello. I’m battling Dinos on my 20G AIO Waterbox. I just purchased the Aqua 15 watt Advantage 2000 UV Sterilizer. What would be a good quiet pump to go along with it and what would be my gph to efficiently kill dinos?

Thanks in advanced

So Looking at the chart, a 200 gallon per hour pump will kill Dinos in the water very quickly.

I would get a submersible pump that can run 100-200 GPH and one that has a hose barb fitting the same size as the UV so you will only need some flex hose & clamps to hook the UV up. The wattage is huge for your tank, if the Dino's you have are mostly in the water column then I would expect them to be gone in a day.

HTH.
