I'm planing on hooking up my chiller today, wonder if i can connect my UV sterilizer in series with the chiller

which first ? pimp should connect to ??? UV first ? then run thru chiller back to sump ? or the other way round ?

TY in advance for any help on this

I'm not sure it particularly matters. The only thing I would worry about is loss of flow on either end potentially being an issue, but I've never used a chiller.
 
Imo run seperate small pump to run chiller . U run to fast and the chiller will take three times longer to chill tank down. kinda same with uv u run water to fast through it the less effective it is u slow it down it will kill everything which isnt good either but depends on what u trying to do with uv. I run uv on my reef so i dont want everything dead so i run my main pump through it maintly just helps clarify the water if ich breaks out it will kill alot of it but not all so buys me time to get fish out. With chiller i tried setring up on main slowed my tank flow like crazy put alot of head pressure so i put bigger pump. But when it kicked on took way to long to cool tank a just a degree was likw 45 min so i took a power head and use that to feed the chiller works in like ten minutes or less . Hope this helps. It obciously depends on chiller hp to
