Lightbulb Pump for both my reactors???

So I have a brs bio pellet reactor running on a maxi jet. I want to get a tls phosban reactor to reduce phosphates, having a gha problem, and I wanted to run the biopellet reactor off the same pump as the phosphate reactor and move the Maxijet to be a circulation pump. Any pumps you suggest to run both the reactors?

Make a manifold from your return with valves to run both reactor..

Great idea the only problem is the line going back to the tank is like tubing not PVC so I would need to make a whole new set up

You could get pvc to barb connectors or convert them to those connectors they use for water filtration

No you won't. Make the manifold out of pvc, fasten it to the stand or wall and use plastic hose barbs to attach the vinyl hose coming from the return pump and going to to the tank. Also use hose bars and gate valves (more precise than ball valves) to feed other equipment.
