nope....not at all.

like what bro AroboyII stated........just install the UVC before the water is returning to the main tank.

UVC only zaps free floating BBs (which is less than 2% of the total population of BBs). Most BBs reside on your bio-media (about 98% of the total population), and they can multiply there w/o being affected by UVC.

So for those free floating BBs in your main tank to get to to those bio-meida.....w/o being zapped by your UVC..........do not put UVC before going to your sump. It has to be installed after the sump (before water returning to the main tank).
