Which UV for me?

Which UV sterilizer do you all recomend? I have a 180gal /45gal Sump/Fuge.

What brand and model do you currently have and what do you think are the pros and cons?

It depends on what flow you are wanting to put through it

Gives you flow rates for algae kill, and a separate flow rate for ich.

Actually I am thinking of purchasing a UV sterilizer and, was more or less looking for a 'Brand name' endorsement. I just want to know what brand of UV sterilizer is best or what the majority of RC members think is the best. Each brand should have a specific model to fit my flow rate.

Here's a brand name endorsement

ROTFL

Emperor and Aqua seem to be the best. I hear the Emperor HO units are where its at though.
