Hi there everyone,
I have a system of 6 tanks all running off of a single pump/filter system. All the tanks have Synodontis catfish in them. I have a UV sterilizer but am not to sure about it so I have a few questions.
First of all, if the water flowing through it turns off for a few minutes will the thing burn out? Or is it ok? Cause all my tanks work with an overflow system and the pump in the sump has a float switch and turns off overy now and then.
Also, if the thing will burn out i'm going to have to get it a dedicated pump. What is the recommended flow rate through a sterilizer? Can it be too slow?
Thanks
