Hello all, I have plans for plumbing this pentair 40w sterilizer into my main system, I "had" it in a temporary set up just to get an idea of what its like and im glad I did, it was nothing but microbubbles for days, an acro RTN because of it. I took it offline now questioning the permanent install.
It is almost how I want to do it permanently but the pump will be submerged in the sump and tee of in 1" to the sterilizer and 1" to a frag tank that will be tied into the sump. And out of the sterilizer over the rim of the 120g tank edge in 1".
I am worried about room this is a small fish room, and being able to service the sterilizer light, so I am planning on mounting it preferably on the wall behind it vertical, unless this is an issue, or maybe the way I had the pump drawing water. Im not sure the issues that come with these this is my first official uv sterilizer unit.
Thank you for anything and everything
