I am limited in space in my 75 gal tank and was thinking about running a UV sterilizer to help me deal with algae and disease breakout. I don't want to clutter the tank with another powerhead so I was thinking about running the UV inline with the intake tube of my fluval 404. The output of the fluval is 340 gph, but I'm not sure what the intake speed is so I'll just assume its similar. Since the gph is so high, I was wondering if a Coralife Turbo Twist 12x 36 watt would do the trick or if I have to get another slower powerhead to run the unit through? I like the idea of running it inline with the intake of my filter since I wouldn't need another pump in the water and since the filter can filter out the dead algae from the UV.
