That’s awesome. Hopefully this sucker does it’s thing as it sure is bright. This bulb is 100w. I will have to keep an eye on this as I definitely need at least one reactor at this time for Carbon and the other one is not needed at this time. That was the other plan, I was thinking of a separate return pump to feed the manifold and isolate the return in to the tank. I may have to go this route after the second reactor is added as I still want decent output in the return lines. I also didn’t think about the overflow aspect considering less flow from the returns and dialing it in. It was hard enough to get the bean all dialed in (at least for me)
. Thanks for the advice as it’s always good to hear from potential problems and what works.
