The more I read, the less I know... help me size UV
Going to take the UV plunge.
My tank is a 125 with a 30gal sump. 2 inch sand bed and 120+ lbs live rock. The sump runs with only about 10 gallons in it. I'm fiuring actual water volume at about 120gal. So... to correctly size a UV unit you want one that will do 4-5x turn over per hour while providing enough dwell time to kill Ich. That would have me looking at 480-600gph. So here's where I get stuck. What unit would meet my needs? I like the Aqua line... am I looking at the 57w model for the flow and dwell I need? The 40w model (at almost 4' long) is physically too big to fit in the space I have. Other suggestions? |
