Hello all,
I have been readin a lot of threads and everyone has different opinions.

I have a redsea 525. I have purchased two Aqua twist sterelisers 57W and 25W.

My intention was to run one for parasite control and another for algae control. I am unablke to determine the correct flow rate. Can you please help me if anyone has done this before or guide me to the right formula.

Thanks in advance

Did you buy them new? They should have came with a paper showing the max and min of flow lower flow is for parasites and higher flow is for algae usually. Get me the Model numbers and I will see if I can find the information for you.
