I run an Aqua Ultraviolet SL-200 UV Sterilizer on my 850 gallon reef. The flow recommendations for parasitic kill rate is the following from Aqua Ultraviolet website......
at 90,000 µw/cm2 (EOL) GPH: 3,066
I'm running at 1670 GPH is this flow rate too low and what would the negative effects be. Not worried about heat because I run a 2hp Tradewinds chiller.
The Pentair 200 watt UV Chart says to run 2200 for the same kill rate.
What are the downsides of running this much slower through the UV
?
