Both of these tanks have uvs on them. The big one (65) is a bad pic cuz of reflection but it is really clear.

Ok seems that there is a general conciseness towards using UV I am currently setting up an 84" X 24" X 23" and using 2 new-jet 8000 from the sump the flow rates on these are 8000 l/h which is to much for most UV's I can find apart from very large Koi UV's that are very expensive and far to big.
I was thinking of having a smaller pump to work inline with a Aqua Medic Helix Max 55W feeding from the sump back to the sump how effective do you think this setup would be.

Yeah probably a better idea to go with a smaller pump, I have mine inline with a fluval fx5.
8000 lph converts to around 2113.376 gph, but you havent taken into consideration the amount of head. For instance, my mag18's are 1800 gph pumps. There is a little less than 5 feet of vertical distance between the pump and the spray bar reducing the flow to around 1200 gph.
