u.v sterilizer

[teen]

i wanna hook up a u.v sterilizer to my 45 gallon tank, its a fowlr , and my two fish died from what i think is ick or somthing else. im leaving the tank without fish for a month so the ick dies off, but i want to hook up the u.v anyways.
its an aqua brand, and its 15watts, 120 volts. is this big enough for a 45? how would i go about hooking this up to my tank? i already have a wet/dry, would i hook it up through that, and if so how?

should thread into your pipework after your pump. your pump external or submersable. mine hangs on the back so i run it if i get a new fish, which seems to be alot lately. mine is a gamma 8w

I have a wet/dry and i run my return pump into the uv and then out the uv to the tank. I thought it kinda slowed down my rate of return so i ended up buying a bigger return pump to make up for the difference.

but isnt the water supposed to just trickle through the u.v sterilizer? if it is, isnt a return pump a little bit to fast to be going through the u.v?
