I have an AquaUV Advantage 2000+ UV 15-Watt sterilizer coming this week for an ostreopsis outbreak... Not sure how to set it up?
I've read about the flow rates for different UV dosages (I think I need 30-45,000 µw/cm2 for dinos, so about 500 gph? sounds like a lot!) - what kind of pump do I actually use with it? My system is 50 gallons total.
I see people talk about using whatever sicce or powerhead, but would that mean I put the pump in the display itself?
I understand it's more effective to run the UV between the display and the sump; I was hoping I could set it up to pull from the overflow box so I don't have to have my lid propped open for the line.
Thanks very much! I'm sure these are very basic questions but I am having a hard time visualising how to put it all together
