Pump question

[jnc914]

I purchased a 40 W Gamma UV Strilizer and will be running out of my sump. What type of pump should I use for this application? I was leaning toward an Eheim internal. Any other suggestions?

Will this be returning right back into your sump, or do you plan on pushing it back up into the tank from there? Let me know how much anticipated head pressure you have and I'll make a couple of recommendations.

Thanks,

Right back into the sump(100 gallon).

Max flow on that unit is 2800gph. If I were setting that unit up I would try and push around 1200 - 1800gph through it to try and maximize my contact time for maximum kill. You could use a Mag2400 as a submersible, or better yet go with one of the larger PanWorld pumps or the smaller Sequence Dart. HTH!
