Setup looks fantastic!

I'd say keep the manifold where it is too for the same reason.

I guess there's no reason you couldn't just have the mag12 dialed down (backpressure / head pressure aka "closing the valves on the output" means the pump uses less electricity - weird when you think about it - it may lift the water higher, but the impeller turns slower as a result - and it's the speed of turning that influences how much energy is being consumed). But yeah a mag12 is a big pump that you'd only need a fraction of to run those reactors. Can you consider a smaller pump? Trade the mag12 maybe if you have no other use for it?
