I've read that because carbon can clog easier it's better to run them seperate but I've never run both in reactors until currently. I do have mine seperate tho. MJ's are cheap and it's tough to tune flow for both simultaneously I think. Carbon is less fussy but if it clogs it affects throughput for the whole setup.

thanks. I've got extra room on the powerbar...maybe I will run em individually...my sump is pretty much just a tank that holds pumps ha ha...ah well.

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!

got the Vortech! oh sweet jesus I am in love. played around with it for a bit, got a nice wave going in the tank, but it stirred up alot of the fine sand, so we set it to random (reef crest) mode....going about 80% at most. You should see the stuff it's pulling from the rock!!
Light gets here Monday, Cleanup crew and a few fish get here Tuesday!!!! small school of these:  aaaaand:  and this be de clean up crew!: http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_...68&pcatid=1368
