UV Sterilizers

[SeaShell]

Hello all,

I'm thinking about getting an uv sterilizer. Of course, some of you may be aware that the plumbing on my tank is a bit wonky..... and the odds of plumbing a sterilizer (or anything else for that matter) into my set up are almost nil!

So, I'm looking for some advise. Are all sterilizers plumbed in line, or are there some that are drop in with a self contained loop of some sort and a separate pump?

Am I making any sense?!

I've scoped them out on line, but I don't see the answer to my question there. Any comments or advise would be appreciated!

Thanks!
