What size UV filtration pump should I use for my aquarium?

The size of UV filtration pump you need for your aquarium depends on several factors such as the size of your aquarium, the number and types of fish you have, the amount of waste they produce, and the level of clarity you want in your water. As a general rule, the flow rate of the UV filtration pump should be able to process the entire volume of your aquarium at least once per hour.
For example, if you have a 50-gallon aquarium, you should choose a UV filtration pump with a flow rate of at least 50 gallons per hour. However, if you have a heavily stocked aquarium or particularly messy fish, you may want to choose a pump with a higher flow rate.
It's also important to note that UV filtration pumps are not a substitute for regular maintenance such as water changes and proper feeding habits. They are designed to supplement your existing filtration system and help keep your water clear and free of harmful pathogens.
When selecting a UV filtration pump, be sure to choose a reputable brand and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance.
