    I have a SmartUV installed in my system (i think it has less then 100 hrs. of use in my 2 year old reef. i think most brands will be just fine. its just that if your going to be running the UV in high flow you may want to up the watt. swirl is good b/c it add exposure time and is compact so if space is tight it may be a good opt.
