How Many things of Main Pump

I have a Blueline HD55 for my main pump.

Currently, I have it:

The return pump (BlueLine 55) feeds a TEE that goes to the tank returns (two corner returns) and then to a valve that feeds a Nucelar 533 canister filter, from the canister filter to a 1/3 HP JBJ chiller, then a TEE to feed a GFO reactor, from that GFO reactor to a carbon reactor and back to the sump.

I am setting up a Octopus BR-140 Reactor for Bio Pellets.

I can use a Mag 5 or similar for that alone and leave everything else. Downside here is another pump and more heat. I assume chiller will run twice as much.

Or I can Add the BR-140 in place of the GFO/Carbon Reactors.

I do not think I can effectively run a second TEE after the TEE to the BR-140 so I would still need another pump.

Any ideas?

thanks
