Thanks for the thoughts. This is why I'm glad it worked out that the manifold outlets ended up right in the middle.

There's about 4" clearance

I don't want to take a chance on an external leak
If it becomes a pain in the but, I can put the reactors in the return area. Plus, if in the future I buy something like an Alpha 170, that's where they will have to go.
To start with, I wanted them out of the way of the pumps but I most likely will put them there anyway. It'll look tidier with shorter hoses and I'll only have one hose to work around.
Then I would route the chiller hose behind the skimmer so I can see better what's going on there.
