Hey everyone (my first post so please don't flame),
I am looking into getting a uv sterilzer for my 90g reef aquarium (I know many of you are for and against UV sterilzers, but I have decided I want one). I am running a Poseidon PS4 (1225 GPH) on my return with about 4ft of clearance, and would like to a run a UV sterilzer in-line with this setup. I also have a JBJ chiller running off a 400gph internal pump that I can use as well. Iv'e read tons of posts but I am in need of a little advice.
1) I was figuring I would need a 30-40 watt sterilizer?
2) should I T off of the main pump or run it in serial?
Any recommendations would be more than appreciated on brand, wattage size, and plumbing.
Thanks,
Rob
