I updated my UV Sterilization Article, primarily in the area Water Flow/ Contact Time and What is a quality UV Sterilizer/clarifier.
This update added more information and more specifics as to the importance of flow rate, turnover and simply what really determines effectiveness.
I am hoping to add more clarity, especially in the area of pond keeping as I have had volumes of emails and phone calls from Pond owners that have bought UVs that were not correctly installed, resulting in poor or non existent results (often this is based on misinformation provided by the manufacturer or seller).
Ultra Violet Sterilization; (How UV sterilization works) . This article explains the benefits and myths about aquarium and pond uv sterilization
As well I have been slowly working on a UVC lamp cross reference guide, although still a work in process, here it is so far:
