Hey Guys,
So I've just got an HOB 8W UV for my 20 Gallon Cube and I'm a little but confused. My tank is about a month old. No corals yet just a pair of clowns.
I called the manufacture AQUA UV because I was told to get a 200 GPH pump but the guys at AQUA told that for a mixed reef you need something around 400 GPH.
My main concern is:
What happens if the pump is too slow (50% of recommended, my case) will it kill good stuff from my water column due to the slow flow and water contact inside the uv?
Should I just buy another pump?
Is there any issues running an UV since day 1 if you want to?
Thanks
