Which filter to inline my 13W UF Filter with?

[goldenchild]

Hey guys! Happy Holidays!

I've got myself a 220G glass tank. 5 ITs and a bunch of Silver dollars in it. For filtration I'm running an EHEIM Classic 2260 and PRO2 (2228). Which Filter would be best for me to in-line my 13W Dophin UV Sterilizer with?

Thanks in advance!

If I remember right, the filter with the slower flow rate. Keeps the water exposed to UV as long as possible. I've been wrong before, but I think thats right...

for a 13w to control everything e.i algae, bacteria,parasites. you would want about a 75gph flow rate. or 200gph for just algea and bacteria.

i have an 18w on m y 125 and i flow about 200ghp on eheim 2080.

So I'm good to go on the smaller EHEIM? I just want crystal clear water/algae free. Parasites is not something I'm too concerned about. I haven't been concerned about ICK since I started this hobby with Ornamental goldfish and changed all the water at once! lol

I think u will be fine. What is the flow of your filters ?
