Hello,
Since there where couple separate UV-related discussions recently I would like to ask for recommendation(s) for my small tank. I have 43gal system with quite a limited space in the sump and around and trying to squeeze a UV in that already tight space. I used Aquatop 13W submersible filter and my tank was never so clean before or after but it so loud and big that I decided to disconnect it for comfort. Recommended flow around 400 GPH thats definitely too much for my small tank. I'm pretty handy and could go DIY way and make smaller inline or even submersible body but still need another pump - my main circulation is Eheim 4000 that's 1000GPH - and take 300-400 through manifold is too much imho.
Any other ideas? Smaller UV ( I kinda doubt in it's effectiveness)?
Regards,
Eugene
