What kind of flow should be put through the uv for a 125 tank? ei want pump size would work best for it?

Maxi-jet 1200. 295 gph. And your good to go. The black tubing at Home Depot works great in plumbing dept. Info@marinefishez. com

The answer depends entirely upon what you're using the UV sterilizer for. If you're trying to kill parasites during their free-swimming life stage, then you need a slower pump so that the water (and the organisms floating in it) take longer to get through the sterilizer and so are exposed to more radiation. If you're just trying to kill algae, then you want a higher-speed pump. There's a chart included with the pump that indicates the flow-rate needed to kill different floating organisms. What are you using the sterilizer for?

The size of a uv clarifier will mainly depend on your pump size if you already have one. A 10 watt submersible uv is ok for a 650 gallon pond but you want to make sure you connect it will a pump that is 700 gph or less. If you waterfall feature requires a larger pump you can use a large uv clarifier. The pondmaster submersible 40 watt uv clarifier can be used with 1.5" tubing and a pump that is no more than 3,000 gph, it will work for ponds that are 6,000 gallons or less.

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

I should add I have a 425 and a 240 plus the 240 flow from the filter pump ... If you don't want corals you may be able to get away with just a 240

I use this on a 20 gallon tank. It does not seem to have a very strong flow for its size I would not recommend using this in a small tank such as yours. The unit itself would be too large for your tank and too strong. If you have a good filter pump for your tank I would think that it would be sufficient for circulation.

We are using it to run two air stones in a 15 gal. tank and it works great. It is a great pump for that. Check what they recommend for your size tank, would be the best way to know for sure.

This is the UV light only and you would need to purchase a pump, hosing etc... What most people do is split off their current pump/filtration to route into a UV filter such as this.

This Turbo Twist uv would definitely work best for you. It would be more than enough to cover your tank and your Fluval 206 would be enough to use with it.

i am assuming u r doig a nano reef if a regular powerhead will do the trick try aquatop 400gph should be more than enuff power to eliminate any and all dead spots...make sure u get an aquaclear pad i get the 110 pad and cut it to put over theintae of the power head that will keep things out of the intake strainer and yes u couls ude it but 800 gallons per hour would be to much in my humble oinion

That is just the model number not GPH. The flow rate for the 1200 is 315 gallons per hour and that is true flow rate not like marineland who boasts a 360 gph rate that is( by their own spec's) actually only 220. Hand down the penn plax is by far a better pump. I have 5 of them after going through fluval, marineland, API.

It depends on how strong your pump is will determine the end results. Can you tell me in more specific what you are trying to accomplish?

I an not an expert, but I would say that any size centrifugal pump would work, but only so much flow will pass through the filter . A positive displacement pump may build up too much pressure to be effective

Works great. Let me know which engine your running and I will tell you which pressure regulator to install ahead of it. You need a large micron pre filter ( 30 micron is great) and a 10 to 20 micron between pump and rail. Keep the inlet side 3/8 to keep from restricting pump. That's the mistake people make and burn the pump up from starvation. Good luck with your project .

U just have to use low flow and keep on heat. The lower the flow the hotter u get. U should not have to go so slow for 80deg. I get up to 125-130

There is a good table of this data via this link to The Marine Depot website. Note that the distance between the pump and the chiller will diminish the flow so you need to keep this in mind when selecting the right pump. http://www.marinedepot.com/Aqua_Euro_USA_Max_Chill_Aquarium_Chiller_1_4_HP_Less_with_a_Built_In_Controller-Aqua_Euro_USA-ED1151-FICHINQCBC-vi.html

Not sure if it can be hooked up this way but even if it can it is a bad idea. You want the UV filter to be AFTER all other filtration to reduce the amount of contaminates that could potentially become trapped inside the UV tank. The more 'gunk' you allow to get trapped inside the UV tank, the less effective the UV bulb will be. As others have also pointed out, you also want to keep the good bacteria in your filter element. Despite the filters and/or UV treatment, it is the good bacteria that is doing the majority of the work in keeping your water balanced and (hopefully) clear.

My tank is a 60 gallon and I have two of these pumps one in each corner. One is a 850 and the other is a 750 and my water movement is good. If yours is a 150 I would absolutely go more than 850.
