If you can provide your system’s pump GPM (gallon per minute) dosage and provide type of bacteria that needs to be killed; We can provide a custom build size UV.

Dosage Calculation SAMPLE
Size	Body	Watts	GPM (Gallon p/ min.)	Mega-joules
15" Longer 61 1/2" Lamp	6" Pipe	375W	300 GPM	30.26mJ
	6" Pipe	300W	300 GPM	23.31mJ

NOTE: Same body, diffrerent wattage GPM is the same but Dosage turns out differently.

Dosage SCENARIO Sample 2
Size	Body	Watts	GPM (Gallon p/ min.)	Mega-joules
4  Lamps	10" Pipe SCH 80	375W	300 GPM	273.1mJ
5 Lamps	10" Pipe SCH 80	375W	300 GPM	343.33mJ

NOTE: Body, Wattage and GPM are the same, but Dosage turns out differently. If you need to kill Protozoa; with a dosage of 280 Mega-joules and only providing 273.2 mJ. Is it worth risking your fish for not adding an extra lamp?
