UV in a 32

[CavalierReef]

I need some assistance finding the proper sizing (wattage/flow) of UV for my 32 gallon Biocube. There is a video of a mini UV "sterilizer" installed in-line on a 29g by Reefthuz. That doesn't seem to me to have enough wattage or contact time to be very useful. Has anyone actually used the Coralife mini in the return? Thoughts?

It should work to clarify the water. What do you want to use it for?

Thanks, piranhaman. Exactly that. I don't expect it to kill pathigens.

Yes it should work for that then

Uv sterilizers work very well for clarity in the water column, ive used one on my IM fusion 20, loved it!

On a 40 gallon I use Aquashield 11 watts with good results.
