Hello everyone. I purchased a 15 watt UV sterilizer and it arrived today!!! My excitement was short lived. After opening the box I realized the unit did not come with a pump.
My Question: What size/type pump would you guys use? The instructions included never state what flow rate should be maintained thru the unit and I'm sort of at a loss. The tubing connections are 1/2 inch, if that helps. While we're on the subject.... would any of you plumb it directly from/to the display tank? Most of what I read says to just have it connected to the fuge/sump.
FYI here's basically the set up I have: 150 gallon drilled display tank with lots of live rock, fish, little bit of coral. The filter is 30 gallon tank that has been divided into three sections. First section is largest and has ~2in sand bed, few cleaner clams and a bunch of chaeto growing. Water overflows to second section which has broken up live rock with sponge on top. Then to third section that contains the protien skimmer and the return pump.
