I am setting up a new Nuvo 10 frag tank and will be installing the coralife mini UV just wondering what option you guys think is best there are a few that spring to mind

1) plumb into return pump in between pump outlet and return nozzle

2) run a dedicated pump in a line and mount the UV outside the tank on the cabinet etc

3) just submerge this pump in rear AIO chamber with small pump attached similar to how the IM Uv is the one with the little pump (disadvantage to this is we loose chamber space whereas the first 2 options don’t really loose much space)

I'd plumb it outside. Your skimmer will be hanging outside so why not have the UV hang with it. :)

Also, should make maintenance easier?

Agreed I’m gna do it with a small pump and hang it outside the back of cabinet or inside bottom of cabinet for easy maintenance- this way I can also take up less chamber space / and run the right flow rate pump - prob have half a dozen small pumps in the garage one should work or can get a sicce

Hooked up skimmer scrubber last night - this skimmer seems really nice I actually ordered all 3 sizes for different tanks
