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...
Bro John, what flowrate is most effective then? Thanks.
