Hello,
I use two green killing machines (the largest ones ) in my 240. They are simply amazing and not super expensive, like 79.00 each. They are very well worth it, will they solve all problems no, but every bit helps. I install one in my sump tank, and then one behind my rock work where it’s srill easy to get to, but not seen. If they don’t fit, just install both in the sump. They come with their own power supply bulbs, and power head to give you proper flow. So no need to tap into your return lines etc. I found mine at petsmart and have been great.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're looking for a UV sterilizer that can tackle algae and bacteria, as well as Protozoa, the Pentair HO 50 watt is one of your best options. This is not a small nor cheap unit. It's 30" long with a 6" diameter.
Good news is that it's on sale today at BRS:

If you're just looking to keep your water a bit clearer, you may be able to get by with a smaller and cheaper unit.

The Pentair High Output Smart UV would be a good choice IMO.
