    Return lines & flow rate

    I'm trying to better dial in flow rates for UV sterilizers on a couple of tanks, and have been wondering: does having a return line nozzle submerged (say just below the water surface) affect the flow rate compared to having the nozzle right above the water surface?

    UV sterilizers?

    Whats is a good high quality UV sterilizer for a 180 gallon tank? Which is a better use to remove algae/bacteria or to remove parasites? Will it kill beneficial bacteria in the tank and will it interfere with an algae scrubber? What wattage/gph should I use? Thanks - Nick

    Microorganism UV Dosage Chart

    I came across this great chart that shows the UV dosage required. Top in the list is algae (22mJ/cm^2). Most UV lights can handle this kind of low dosage. It's the higher dosage that becomes tricky to achieve and size. 50mJ/cm^2 is a good all around dosage. As you can see from the chart some...
