actually bro..after extensive reading on these UV lights......w/ the tank size you have....and you also wana kill parasites......the jebo 13 w, unfortunately will not do the job.

those types that cost $200 and above..........with 40 watts or higher and w/ slower flow rate/pump (less than 100 gph)...will be the only solution to kill parasites.

remember that parasites are alot larger compared to bacterias and algae.......and they need to be exposed to the UVC longer...in order to be zapped..

alot of hobbyists uses a big pump w/ a very fast flow rate and connect it to their UVC..thinking that its good.............but it will not do them NOTHING, unfortunately.

HTH...
