UV Sterilizer for Green water

[ilikeb00st]

Hey guys,

I have a 125 gal with some GW problem. was looking at uv sterilizers but cant decide which one to get. I'm debating on coralife turbo twist 3x 9watts or spend a little more and get the 6x 18watts. Will the 9watts be sufficient for 125gallon?

The smaller one will work. It will just take longer.

Good luck on cleaning the water up, after the water is all clear show us you tank. once again good luck!

The 9w will be fine. I have an 8w on a 220, and it keeps it clear. Just keep the flow low.

seems like 9w will work. why spend extra $$ when the cheaper one will work
