Would that work?

Notsolostfish · Jul 7, 2023

Hello everyone. I know i had multiple threads about my UV before, but there was a lot of back, and fourth from the community, about if the syphon would work, or my whole UV would work as a system. So basically to explain a little bit about my system. It’s essentially as having the sump in the display for the UV as closed loop, but the only difference here is the pump-is sitting outside the dispolay tank. So water goes in from the main display tank, goes down to my pump who is currently sitting in the sump because i have no place for it outside the tank, and then what happens after the water goes to the UV and back to my tank. And the way i wanted to start the syphon is a littke pump with a rubber hose, i put the rubber hose inside my suction pipe fill the loop, and as soon as i have enough water, i start the pump. Please watch the video to explain the system

I run my UV in a closed loop, pulling from after the fleece roller and depositing to the next (separated) chamber (skimmer, reactors)

Benefits:
* In the event of a power outage I don't have to worry about re-establishing a syphon.
* I'm only putting pre-filtered water through the UV and UV pump (leas maintenance, wear).
* Anything that gets sterilized also has a better than even chance of being run through the skimmer and reactors where the UV-treated water exits.

Alright, what about my system? I dont have to worry about hack syphon because its like a circle
