You would need at least 25 watt UV, the bigger the better so you can have more water going thru the UV. Are you using it for parasite or getting rid of algae? For parasite you need to run your pump slower.

Below is a guideline I found online.

UV(Watts)/ gph to Control Bacteria and Algae/ gph to control Parasites

4 60 N/A
8 120 N/A
15 230 75
18 300 100
25 475 150
30 525 175
40 940 300
65 1700 570
80 1885 625
120 3200 900
130 3400 1140
