Am I wrong to assume that Lowering the flow and aquarium volume would negatively effect the effectiveness of such a UV filter? I would like to run such a UV filter on a 75 gallon tank with a flow of 300 GPH approximately. If you say its good for 500 GPH at 200 gallons, would changing the total System volume to 100 gallons allow an increase in flow? I'm just ball parking here and trying to understand. I figure I might as well get the one you have been standing by it seems you have the best info to inform my purchase.
As me and my friend wrap up my super system construction in my basement I'll finally be able to build my QT setups. UV is very important to me as medicating is a huge PITA and doesn't have a finite impact and can be horrible for fish. I'd like to use a combo of UV, Temperature, Salt, and Epsom or metro depending to flush the fishes systems. This is manageable on a time and cost basis and works with most every animal. Even if a fish is cold water only, hates salt, and is really delicate so won't tolerate metro, the UV combo'd with Epsom salted food will cover most all bases. I have lost too much money to disease to not do a good QT setup. I've probably lost thousands in fish over my time in the hobby. If I spend 2,000 setting up 4 decent QT tanks in the next year it will be money well spent, I've lost that much in fish in the last 3 years to disease that could have been stopped with a good QT setup.

I agree it is all quite allot to understand lots of variables etc. I'm excited to learn this is probably among the most challenging concepts I've tried to wrap my mind around in a long time.
