I run a 55 watt on my pond and am very familiar with these.
Running a uv before filtration may simply take the water a little longer to sterilize. However in our tanks the water is pretty clean already. Either way will be fine. Before filter or after. If your running it from the sump as the last stage before returning to the DT that's even better. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using Tapatalk 2

Basically what the store was saying is to run it through the display tank and not the sump because you will cycled the display tank more often than if you do it in the sump. The sump water would end up being more UVed and the UVed exchange would only occur as often as the return pump cycles.
For a return pump, I have a Gen-X PCX40 in the basement and the max flow is 1190gph. I raise the water about 10 feet so I probably only get 800 gph. Thoughts? I am leaning on running it in my sump (in the basement) as the QuietOne 1200 pump only does 290gph at 0' head and this is less than the 800 gph that the return pump does.
