Hey all, I bought this tank with the plumbing already configured.. now I’d like to add this coralife uv sterilizer into the system, what’s the best way to go about it?

I know I have to be within a gph threshold, but that’s all I know. Just plumb it into an open ball valve? Directly off the pump then back into the system?

Ill probably just plumb it into one of the available valves on your header and have it drain back into your sump for a simple and clean install. Flow into your display tank will reduce as from what I can see in your picture you have 100% of the flow into the DT.
 
UV sterilizer are a PIT Rear when it comes to plumbing one in, saying the guy who still has his unit BNIB for the last 4 years.
