I'm wondering if anyone has what they would consider success using an open loop from the sump for UV sterilization. I understand the most common install is to split the return line from the sump using a valve to divert some of water so it routes to through the UV at a certain rate. I'd like to add a 15w UV to my 60g cube but don't have room to hang one off the back of the tank and really don't feel like hacking up my return line. I started to think about using a Sicce pump to send water through the UV in and out of the middle chamber of the sump. I obviously don't want to do this if it won't be effective. Curious about the experiences of people who have done this and whether they are happy with the results.
