Hey Rich,

Just out of curiosity does that type of UV say what it covers at 9 watts (i.e. Algae, Bacteria, protozoans, etc)?

it says this in the description Coralife Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizers are the most efficient devices for ultraviolet sterilization on the market today. They feature a quartz glass sleeve with a PL compact fluorescent UV lamp surrounded by a revolutionary Turbo-Twist flow design to increase dwell time, which in turn increases efficacy. Continuous ultraviolet sterilization of your water eliminates single-cell algae for crystal-clear aquariums and also eradicates most harmful microorganisms on the initial pass through the chamber. Its triple-treatment time fully utilizes all the available UV output of the lamp and ensures that disease-causing pathogens cannot reproduce, thus decreasing the possibility of a disease outbreak in your system. Coralife Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizers have been designed for use in all freshwater and saltwater aquatic systems. here is a link http://www.marinedepot.com/Coralife...ers-Coralife-ES77070-FIUVUUET-ES77070-vi.html
