The latest chart I have is attached below. It is a metric version of the Pentair commercial documentation but you can convert back simply enough. LPM / 3.79 = gallons per minute flow.@strich I want the UV to help with parasite control and be able to toggle it to help with algae. Water clarity is a very nice bonus too.
@gbroadbridge I am using pentairs manual. For the 18w at 37-60 GPH exposure would be 180,000 uw/cm2. Are you saying this is outdated information? Was there some recent studies done? Thanks
Pentairs manual lists up to 60 gallons and I'll be just over that. I figured it would at least help. I could change the bulb early and keep flow on the higher end of recommended.
Edit: oh you mean the pentair manual is based on freshwater ich duh.. so I need 280k uw/cm2 exposure?
FWIW, I have worked professionally on the design of ornamental fish quarantine and treatment systems.
