I have a Red Sea Reefer 250. I have an Aqua hang on tank UV sterilizer that I want to put on the system. The sterilizer is too tall to hang on the sump. I was thinking of hanging it off the overflow return box with the pump in the sump. This would pump 250-300 gallons/hr into the overflow box . Is this a good idea? Can the overflow box and downflow tubes handle the extra volume? Will this flow into the overflow box interfere with the dynamics of the overflow from the tank?

Yes you can and in many cases, a typical installation
