Was wondering whats the best flow rate for a UV sterilizer on a 250litre tank tuned specifically for dinos?
 
It depends on the UV light. The size of the light and wattage will determine the flow rate that would be best. Most manufactures list what flow rate is best for their lights.

Unfortunately it depends on what species of dino. Some are better protected from UV than others.

IME you want to turn the tank over quickly, for this reason people recommend 1 watt/3 gallons minimum.

Did you purchase a UV already? What wattage? Jebao makes UVs that work for dinos that are sold on Amazon.
