I have a Redsea 1000 it is 220g on the display and 55 in the sump. Currently I am dealing with Dino’s, I have a ultraviolet Uv 57watt I’m trying to see what’s the best flow for it to help out with the Dino’s right now is at about 150gph

Also I am pulling water from the return pump chamber to the uv and back to the return pump chamber

Where do you guys recommend I pull water from and where return it

I would think Dinos should run fast like 1000-1200g (say 3-4x turnover) or it won’t keep up with them multiplying.

Best is always pull from the DT, back to DT.
