What return pump for UV , and flow rate ?

[jmichaelh7]

What flow rate for my 57 watt Aqua UV on my total system 220 gallon? Is there an equation to calculate? This is for Ich.

Also do I need another cor20 pump or will a Hydor work?

so, ich is a parasite so will need to stay in the UV "longer" to "cook". i'd go with 1-2x tank turnover for the flow rate.

also - i thought the Aqua UV instruction book a chart for recommended flow rate for different pests? i used that chart for dinos vs algae...maybe it doesn't show ich.

Mine runs off a Sicce unit which you can adjust flow on
