uv esterilizer for a 250 red sea 65 gallons

[PrinceOberin]

hi , i have a 250 red sea tank, im about to add a uv esterilizer, so im reading some posts here, so my question is a 36w uv would be enough?
and what would be the gph rate that i need, would be 260gph?

A 25-watt UV would also be enough. The flow rate depends on the type of sterilizer and if you're looking for algae vs. parasite control.
