They are if you go by the "on the box" recommendations. There was a GREAT thread that Chris (mojo) wrote about properly sizing UV's. You should be able to find it really easily by searching Reef Discussion.

I know nothing about this RTN stuff, but does it make a good argument fore a bare bottom tank? I am going that way now, only because I want to limit detrius accumulation. Thoughts?
