Okay so i have a UV sterilizer i can hang on the back. Now i am sitting here trying to figure out how to get the water through it. I do not have a sump line or anything. I use a HOB filter. I do have two powerheads i could use on.. but.. how do i hook the hose up to the powerhead to go to the UV?? when i take the little deflector off the head it just has a square tube like 1/2 in long that the water comes out... clamp the hose to that???? or is there another way i need to get the water through it? any ideas?

Taylor, I'd try and clamp it on to that.  It doesn't have to be a tight fitting, just enough pressure to move water through.  Then you want a long outlet tube on the other end to be sure the water stays in the tank

I've found that there is probably the way the instructions would have you do it but I've never had all the right supplies so I've found there are many ways to get it done. 
 
Oh, I came across the original box and it says it's rated to 120gal. so you should be in good shape.
