I have no opinion on the manifold, but that looks killer!

I'd stick with the manifold where it is, purely because of the possibility for leaks and it leaking back into the sump is always better.

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?

Yeah I definitely could trade it for a smaller version. Maybe a Mag 9.5 would be better. But I still don't mind having it recirculate back into the tank, shouldn't be an issue. I was just tossing around ideas for mounting the manifold when I came up with the idea. It's nice and clean where it is, and I can run all of the output pipes for the reactors easily. Everything will be super accessible this way. I think i'm going to leave it like this.
It will be nice to have more flow to the left closet as well without the manifold T'd off that pump. I will also have controllability with the DC pump speed to the frag tank.

No opinions but that whole set up looks bad ass, glad I'm still tagging (creeping) along on this thread getting lots of ideas for my next build (There's always a next build right)
