UV sterilizer recs, 75 gallon display

[t5Nitro]

Looking to possibly add a UV sterilizer to the tank to help with clarity and decrease algae. I have a 75 display and a 20 sump. Brs sells pentair. 25 or 40 watt? How long do they tend to last?

Bulb will last around a year if continually used.

UV is all about time water is exposed to the light and flow to be effective. A 25W will do the job on a system of 95 total gallons. However, if you have the space and money a 40W will allow for a higher exposure rate with the same flow. Is the 40 overkill? Probably, but you never really know.
