Hello:
I have Eheim pro 3e 2078 canister filter .I havent install yet to my tank ..
I bought Coralife turbo twist 3 uv sterilizer 9 watt and Hydor Eth 300 External heater..
I want to install them with my canister.I wonder if it work well or not ..
Thanks and best regards all .
 
It will work fine just install them both on the return pipe

I think a 9w would be to small for the flow rate of a 2078

The 2078 pushes 1850 lph you will need a 25w for that amount of flow

I used to run a 2078 they are great but with uv it's all about flow rate to fast and it won't do nothing to slow and it will boil the water
 
Hello TIKARMANN
Thanks for the reply..
But which way is better on the install .??First the heater or uv sterilizer i put on ??
Best regards :)
 
And i think heater will make flow rate down a bit as uv sterilizer
 
A 9w uv will be no good at all


A 25w is rated at 1700 lph so even with the reduced flow which I took into account its not worth using a 9w

When you do set it up with a larger uv put the heater after the uv

So uv then heater or you will boil the uv
