I have an undersized unit with a mj1200 running at half power on a 250 gallon system. Id be surprised if it processed half my volume a day. Plus they are a far cry from 100% efficient. Not powerful enough.

Once again I agree completely.

I've always heard that most of the good micro fauna in a reef tank stays on the rocks and substrate...i.e., not in the water column. I ran one on my old 50 until it leaked internally and caused the bulb to explode. :(

I agree Jim but your corals feed out of the water column and I starve my tank.
