EVO UV 55w max flow rate is 6050gal

Based on this information, if bacteria go through the uv that will handle algae, they are dead. For larger items like ich tomites, they will go through without getting a good suntan.

If the desired flow is spelled out to give algae kill intensity, but I flow 1/2 that rate, then I will kill at least some fungi, in addition to algae and bacteria. I will also get algae kill at two or three years of use, instead of 1 years use out of the bulbs.

It is all intensity with wave length.
