Where do I put the UV light

Return side with a T if pump is high flow rate. if you have a dedicated pump for UV, you could put that pump into pump chamber and redirect the Filtered water back into display or back to first sump section. Need to know the reccomended flow rate for the sterilizer.

Update:

I've added 5 bug pieces of Cured live rock from a guys tank plus his DSB in my sump, I have more live cured rock in the bucket with two clowns.

My tank had been cycling since last week Wednesday and I took a water sample to the LFS and he said my ammonia is going down and the nitrates and nitrites are going up! That was before I added all of the live cured rock and sand, how long will my cycle last for with this new addition????


And I want to go buy more black sand today would that cause my cycle to stall or start over ??

Now I have bristle worms I believe that came from the rock and sand. They're in both the sump and Display. Is this a sign of my tank reaching its starting point because they're still alive ??? My tank has been cycling since 9/20 I added new cured LR and LS to my sump and tank on Friday 9/29

I also added on Saturday all of these. What do you think???
