I'm not necessarily a pro but have experience What's going on?Any "pro" sump plumbers in the club...?
And notice "pro" is in quotes
I don't think there is a BRS video that I haven't seen... lolDefinitely check out YouTube and brs videos for the proper way to install a uv, that will help a bit as well
Lol, that's awesome. I'm sure we can get it figured outI don't think there is a BRS video that I haven't seen... lol
More-so for parasite mitigation.I could help too. I would agree iv on its own pump. What do you plan on using it for.
The best was to plumb it would be tank to tank but not everyone wants a pump in the tank. That is the best way for parasites. Or if you don't plan on running it all the time you could make it so it hangs on the tank where the pump in only in there temporary and to me wouldn't be to bad. Then you wouldn't have to worrie about flow in the over flow box
I have my plumbed in from my sump and it does ok for parasites but when I had it run more of a closed loop tank to tank with pump in tank Inthink things worked better and I may change it back
I do plan on using it 24/7 - for parasite mitigation.I can help out too. I have a lot of experience with complicated plumbing and manifolds.
You can place a dedicated pump in your skimmer section and return it to your fuge section. If it were me, I would hard plumb it off a manifold from the main return and dump it back into the fuge section.I do plan on using it 24/7 - for parasite mitigation.
However, if there is ever any sort of bacterial or algae problem - I would run it at a higher GPH to take care of that - and then return it to the lower GPH after that.
I really don't like the idea of having a pump in the tank.
If there is some way to modify the hard plumbing that comes with the setup (as shown above in post #6) to somehow take water from the overflow line and run it through the UV and then return it back to the return line - or something like that... That would be the same as from display back to display, correct?
Otherwise hard plumbing it to a second pump somehow?
If nothing else, hard plumbing it to a second pump so it takes the water from the sump section right after the filter socks/filter roller, running it through the UV, and the returning the water to the very next chamber (protein skimmer) - that way the water doesn't bypass any of the filtration.
Or...?
I think we might be saying the same thing - just reading the sump diagram differently...?You can place a dedicated pump in your skimmer section and return it to your fuge section. If it were me, I would hard plumb it off a manifold from the main return and dump it back into the fuge section.
