Sam, there's no way I'll post a pic of this mess! Heinous! I will give you a written description, you perv.

Starting at the bottom (in the tank), I have an old Eheim pump with a half inch outlet. My UV unit has one inch outlets. So, I start with half inch tubing, then stuff the end into three quarter inch tubing, which is then stuffed into the end of one inch tubing, going into the UV. No clamps or barb fittings holding the tubes together, though there are barbs at the pump and UV. Another one inch tube returns the water to the tank. Cords are strung willy nilly, in equally heinous (and temporary) fashion. The UV unit just sits on top of the tank, straddling the middle eurobrace.

Doesn't that sound lovely? But hey, it's under the hood! "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
