I will be setting up a 90 gal sw with fish and live rock. Now it seems like the Turbo-Twist 3X UV Sterilizers are sensible buys.
My choices are:
9W 11" x 2-7/8" 1/2" or 5/8" 100-200 gph up to 125 or the
18W 13-1/2" x 5-1/2" 5/8" or 1" 200-300 gph up to 250
Now there is only about a $50 diff in price and a $10 difference in replacement bulb cost, which have to be replaced every year.
THE QUESTION: Do you think i should go with the higher watt unit? or is the 9 watt sufficient. I'd like it to be able to take out ich if possible.
