80 watt Aqua Ultraviolet 2 lamp sterilizer 2 inch Max flow 3678 GPH with wiper seal. This UV will be plumbed off the drain line which exits the sock in the sump not the fuge. It will be the only equipment located in the stand. I will have a Aquatronica controller in the stand as well.I would like to thank Will and his pop at Aquatronica for all ther help.UV has a wiper seal. It just slides out to clean sleeve for optimal performance a must have.

i love the idea of everything being outside definatly helps with sound my only concern would be the whole thing with "out of sight out of mind" like i keep my tanks and equipment in high traffic areas or else i forget about what i have to do every day with my tank but then again im absent minded

Closed loop pump Dolphin amp master 5600/4700. There will be 2-11/2 drains on the back of the tank one on each side and 3- 1 inch on each side. Im using a 11/2 3-way actuated ball valve(Hayard) on the closed loop. The Aquatronica controller will operate the valve.
