I'm running a 305 and a 405 off my Trigger tank sump. The 405 is filled with nothing but SeaChem de*nitrate (2 litres). The 305 has 600 grams of carbon in the bottom two baskets and a bit more de*nitrate in the top basket. No foam in these either. (Rowaphos on this tank is run in a reactor).
I have a spare Rena XP3 kickin' about and I'm thinking of running this off my Reef sump with de*nitrate. My sumps are on the floor and so are the canisters. I tried running the XP3 off my Trigger sump, but it didn't have the oompf to draw water for engaging a siphon effect. The reef sump water level is higher, however, so I'm hoping it might work there.

HTH.
-i'm plannin to put 3 types of media, rowaphos as you mentioned, kent reef carbon, and also, nitrite remover
