Hey, I have a 1000 gallon luguna uv light sits out side the pond like yours does and my ponds about 700 gallons, my light is 8 watts. your water should clear up a little each day for a few days depending on how green(or brown) your water is..if not you might have to adjust your water flow so it's not going to fast so the light misses the algea or to slow so it can't keep up in really sunny weather....So you just have play with it for awhlie.....My filter pushes 1200 but I have a stream coming in to my pond also so water travles up for a few feet..I hope thats some kind of help for you but it took about a week for my pond to totally clear up but I noticed a change every day...
