Hi,

I have a Waterbox Infinia 150.4 tank and stand on order and should receive it soon, hopefully. I want to add a UV sterilizer to it during setup and turn on at a little bit later date after cycling and everything. I am not positive on where to put it or how to add it into the system. I'm still pretty new to all this and have only had a AIO so far, so this tank will be completely new to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've done some looking around in forums but haven't found anything yet that would help so far. I may have missed the correct post that would help. Thanks all!
 
Looking at the plumbing diagram for that model, I see 3 options.

1. Add it to your manifold
2. Add it between your return pump and main display.
3. Add a second return pump “closed loop” dedicated specifically to run your UV.
