    Looking to install one on my 46BF FOWLR. Here are 3 options I am considering:

    Coralife Turbo-Twist 18W (I don't think the 9W is powerful enough, but correct me if I am wrong!)
    Aqua Ultraviolet 200+ 15W (assuming the 8W is not powerful enough)
    Aqua Medic Helix 11W (again, not positive if 11W is the right size)

    Anyone with personal experience on any of these, and what size is appropriate?

    TIA

    Coralife TurboTwist worked well for me. Keep in mind you need to run if at proper flow rates for targeting what you want to dispatch.

    Good to know, and thank you. I did see DFS article on flows for what you are targeting.
