Sounds like you need one of these sexy options soon:

powerbar -> powerbar 2
powerbar -> externsion cord

Boost your connection count just don't tell Smoky the Bear haha.

ha ha sexy connections are how I roll! I have a 6 outlet bar plugged into one outlet on the wall...and a second 6 outlet bar in waiting. I'll be a.o.k....I think.

Used the little calculator thing on RC and so far this tank is only boosting the electrical bill about $20 a month. Not bad at all.

I would just T off the output of a MJ1200 and feed each TLF reactor individually off the one pump. Independent flow control and only one plug used. Done and done! The Mj12 should have more than enough flow for both reactors with media volume for this size of tank. I would think anyhow.

I thought so too. I couldn't get my gfo to tumble in the BRS dual reactor when it was the ONLY thing in there (other canister empty) but I think it had something to do with the volume of that design and the sponges they come with. 2 x TLF though may be ok.

Vortech MP40 gets here tomorrow. lights on Monday. Gotta find 3 of the bulkhead strainer thingermajigs for the closed loop intake/outputs cause someone threw them out....and then we're good to go. Got about 3 lbs seed rock for the tank today, and it's coming along good now....won't be too much longer till 4 or 5 blue/green chromis find their way into the tank!
