Hi,
I'm trying to plan ahead for a new tank and I am looking to get some feedback on what I think would work in terms of UV Sterilizer installation.
The main goal here is to dial the flow to UV as needed between Algae(High flow) and Protozoans(Low flow) using ball valves.
Ideally, I'd set the flow as high flow day to day but use low flow as needed. As you can see in the drawing, I create a closed loop by having all of my water pass through the UV Sterilizer before going into the DT. With the help of the flow meter right after UV Sterilizer and the bypass flow controlled by ball valve, I think this would work but I'd like to get someone either who had done this before or is familiar with PVC plumbing.
I really appreciate it!
