Gfo/carbon reactor in sump placement ??

[Coralgurl]

Yup, gfo first then carbon. I can put it in the return section for sure, got some room...in it goes.

what pump you using??

[Proteus]

yeah i only pull out of return side

found it was better to build a manifold and run each reactor seperate

[Coralgurl]

I got the dual reactor from brs, with a cobalt mj-1200 pump, which I bought as a package.
Flushed it all first and made sure it was gfo was at the right levels, ran it into a bucket.

The dual brs only has one inlet. It is labeled gfo and carbon as well.

I know I only meant to point it out.

I am laying out my sump right now and this was one of my questions as well (same reactor)

So why in the return section?

I was hoping to run it off an mj-900 is that not enough?

[Proteus]

if you run socks it be fine anywhere

i found before that if i ran it elsewhere the foam would plug off fast so the return was the spot with less larger particals

i never tried with the mj9 but the 12 worked great for me i cant see why the 9 wouldnt work as its throttled back anyways.


i like the outlet of my phosphate media as close to the return as possible ,i guess if i cant get it right to the display then the pump would be the next best thing.
