UV sterilizer relocation

[Reefer911]

I’d like to get my UV sterilizer out of my sump as I’ve never been completely happy with its location and configuration. I have a CADE 1200 Peninsula and would like to hang it on the outside of the tank behind the overflow. I’m looking for ideas on how to hang the unit on the glass. I did have a net on top that I will have to contend with, but that shouldn’t be much of a hindrance. But something low profile will help in that regard.

Also trying to decide if I’ll hang vertically or mostly horizontal with just enough of an angle so that air bubbles get pushed out.

Any help is appreciated!

Just hard plumb it into a fixed position. I suppose that you could have somebody print a 3d bracket or you could velcro strap it to the overflow plumbing.

I screwed two velcro straps to the leg of my stand and use those to strap into into place, kind of like a fire extinguisher would be held to the wall bracket.

Home Depot has pipe mounts; some are plastic, some are metal ...I want to say they go up to 4"
Not sure what the diameter of the unit is,
here are some on Amazon in stainless streel
4" Rigid Pipe strap

I used 2 ea PVC board; mounting the unit itself on one and mounting the other to the wall ...I used French cleats to hang ...
Currently on laptop but can provide pics if you need

What I have in mind is something to hang on the back glass that will hold the UV.

And plastic for obvious reasons

I would not run it horizontal. However, ask customer service at manufacturer about that and they should have that bracket already designed.
