Hi All,

I’m setting up a IM 75EXT for mix reef use after 10 years out of the hobby. Thought I would start this thread to share the build and get advice/feedback as I go along.

I spent some time modifying the the plumbing kit to (1) allow for offsetting the sump in the stand to make room for a cabinet/controller board. (2) hard plum the UV sterilizer into one of the return lines. All modifications are dry fitted and can be adjusted.

Looking for feedback on the UV setup pictured below. I would have liked to have the ball valve before the UV sterilizer, but couldn’t think of a clean way to make this work with the flow sensor. Any problems with the set up that any of you can see? What else am I not thinking of?

Thanks!
David
