Thanks for the reply,
As I was looking around I saw some cheapy bulbs, sold for the odyssea UV I think saying they fit in the coralife ones, but I think regardless JL is the closest store to me anyway that sells bulbs regardless so it would end up being there or online. (theres only a few $ different there...)
Does JL actually sell bulbs for the 15w UV? I see the 15w fixture, but replacement bulbs as 8w, 10w, 25w...
The system is only about 85-90 gallons total, but I still wouldn't mind going for UV thats designed for larger (might try and stick a larger sump in there one day if I can), so if I went for the pentair i would probably go for the 25w one....
But the 25w pentair says it does up to 200g
Yet the 18w coralife says it does up to 250g, does the style of the waterflow make that much of a difference? Or is that more about the pump you hook up to them.
Also I've never really needed to look into pumps before, so really I'm lost on both fronts here. I want quiet running! Now some are designed to be hard plumbed in and never be wet on the outside, while some are submersible, some take hoses/pipe on both end, or just 1... Haha no idea what I need here. Or whats better to run a sterilizer with, push the water through the sterilizer or pull it through...
I was hoping to have the pump in the 1st portion of my sump then the sterilizer maybe hung on the edge (I like that about the coralife one) then deposit water before the return pump... i think, yikes!
