I'm considering buying a UV for my new AIO 22.5g build.
I want to buy a sterilizer that keeps up with my return pump so it can turn over my tank fast enough for algae and fish disease control at the same time. Is this a bad idea?
My return pump runs at 266gph and I am afraid the head pressure will slow it down too much.
Should I worry at all about oversterilizing if I buy the 15w (233 gph disease control) or the 8w (214 gph)
edit: the pump will be pumping water up over the edge of the tank then straight down to the UV and then to wherever I decide to return. I Might place it before my HoB refugium or my actual return pump. Both are the same pump.
