Uv plumbing for AIO

[Rcs_12]

I'm looking to install a 15 watt uv sterilizer on my 40 gallon AIO tank. Can I see how you have plumbed yours? I'm not sure if I want to run it inline with my return pump or if I want to run it as a closed loop with its own pump. I'm also debating on hard vs soft plumbing. Thanks

Which 40 gallon AIO do you have ? I like the IM Aqua Shield Desktop AIO Sterilzer. You just drop one in one of your Overflow and you're done.

Option 1: Pull it from either of the second pump chambers (after filtration) and have it exit in the return tank chamber. Requires a second pump.

Option 2: Have the output from the MightJet pump diverted to the UV sterilizer then back to the dual nozzles. Doesn't need a second pump.

In both instances I'd use flexible silicone tubing.
