I know next to nothing about plumbing DIY but this may be a good beginner project.
I have a red sea reefer 250 with v3 sump (4 chambers in 2x2 formation). My back left changer has a return pump with a "soft plumbed" tube up to what I think is the stock reefer plumbing (my LFS set my tank up for me). There is a clamp on the bottom and top of the tube.
The UV I want to get is the Aqua UV 15W with ideal flow rate at 233gph which is too low to plumb inline with my return pump. I am thinking of using a separate little pump in the third chamber to feed the sterilizer and have the out connect to a T in my existing return pump line.
What all do I need to buy to connect the T in my existing return pump line? I assume the in/out on the sterilizer itself is self explanatory because it comes with the necessary pieces.
Here is my current return pipe soft->stock pipe connection where I think I should add the T. Is this a viable plan? If it would help, I can take it apart sometime soon and post a picture of the individual pieces.
