Hey everyone. So I have the im 100int with the massive rfs39 sump. While the sump is nice it leave almost zero room under the tank.

Currently battling brown sand, I dont think its dinos as I've never noticed bubbles or sheets of anything but im also new to reefing.

Anyway im looking for a decent all in 1 solution for a uv sterilizer. I notice the all in 1s such as aquatop and similar only go up to 15ish watts but claim the max tank size is like 125 gallons while something like the ice cap 27 watt claims to do tanks of similar sizes.

Are the all in ones reverse sandbagging? Can a 15 watt uv really be good for like 100 gallons of water?

I dont want to plumb anything and just looking for an easy drop in.
