I am looking to get a bigger uv sterilizer for my 210g display. I only have a 18w now and want to find something good for fighting parasites. What would be a recommended size in watts? I know flow is also a factor in this but I seen to not be able to get a answer to watts for my 210g. Any help is appreciated.
 
You need to decide how many times you want to filter your tank per hour and then buy a UV that can treat that flow rate.
 
were you able to find a new UV? I'm looking to add a UV to my 213G tank and not sure on which I should get either. Tank will have a couple acanathurus tangs so main reason i want to run it.

Yes I ended up getting a 57watt aqua ultraviolet UV Sterilizer
 
On my 280g system I run my return through 2 aquauv 57ws. Total gph through the 2 is around 660gph
 
I'm running a 90 Watt Lifeguard Aquatics unit on my 220 Gallon, works a treat.

The most noticable difference is cleaning the glass has become almost a 2-3 week task instead of a 2-3 day task.
