Hey All,

These UV Sterilizers are one thing I am not familiar with although I have been doing my research to understand what they do and how to set mine up(somewhat). I bought it through the forums here and didn't get much in the way of mounting or connections. Purchased a new bulb and want to run my return line through it.

Anyone out there happen to have pictures of theirs mounted in their stands that they wouldn't mind sharing? Thinking I just get some 2" hose clamps and mount it to a 2x6 I have in my stand frame. But does it need to be horizontal or vertical? Perhaps I haven't looked online enough yet.

Here is how mine is mounted with 2" clamps that fit the aqua ultraviolet units perfect. These same clamps I believe will fit the 57 watt unit.
