Uvc on skimmer outtake

[FishOkay]

Hi, so I had an idea of installing a diy uv sterilizer on my external skimmer outlet. Can anyone see any issues with doing that? It's about the right flow rate through there of about 3000lph. I would be looking at 80 - 100w uv lamp, ballast and all that stuff.
Could I not just replace the elbow on the outlet with a T. Use a gasket and all that for the quartz sleeve and uv bulb and have the uv running the length of the outlet inside the pvc.

Seems like pretty high flow for a uvb. Check the manufacturer flow rates before you buy. What are you looking to achieve with the UV? I think they are great to have for emergencies, but running them 24 hours a day seems like a waste of money to me. At most I'd run it only at night.

Really for disease and parasite control/Prevention I was looking at basically using the 80w DD bulb and ballast and they recommend 3000-4000lph for their uv unit I think. It is quite large tank/pond at like 2700L.
