so... I want to increase my flow.
I also have been thinking about getting a UV steraliser. I've been looking on ebay, and there are a few internal UV steralisers, that feature a powerhead. So I'm thinking, why not kill two birds with one stone?
Having never had one before, what wattage do I need? My tank is 100gals/400 litres.
Is that even important? Is the amount of water it turns over, more important than the wattage of the bulb?
There's one I'm interested in that only has a 9watt bulb and says it's suitable for tanks up to 200litres. It's flow is 800litres/hour.
I've worked out I need approx 1400litres/hour more flow in my tank, so if I got two and put one at each end of my tank, would that do the job?
What do you guys think? Is this a good idea, or would it be a better idea to get an external UV steraliser and get powerheads separately?
