Where i can mount this 25w uv? I cant wrap my head around this. I dont want to drill through the right side of the cabinet, and even if i drill, it wont and i cant close my door.

I cant drill at the back wall, old wood, and the wall is empty. Any ideas? Im genuinely frustrated

I don't trust any sort of "permanent" tape to hold. 3M command strips fail all the time,esp with any sort of bond that isn't flat to flat or is pulling away from the wall.

I would go with hardware, not "stickyware."
 
Mount it with the bulb socket up so that if the sleeve cracks you dont get a leak.
That's a big mistake people make...I know a guy.
 
What’s going on with that cavern like space behind the drains and return? With some braided vinyl tubbing you can stick it wherever you want. Is this a permanent install or just session?
 
I have used a strip of wood that can sit on top of the sump (on the right side for example from front to back) and then mount it to the top of that. Added benefit if it leaks, it leaks directly into the sump. Also can be moved easily if needed since the board isn't permanately attached.
