Couple phosban reactor questions?

RL321 · 09/22/2011, 08:04 AM

Done alot of reading here about these. I am undecided about either the brs reactor or the tlf reactor. Will be starting my cycle this weekend, should i have these omline during the cycle and should i just use gfo and carbon? I have read the output should be downstream from the intake (pump) If you look at my setup how would i do this? I cant throw a pump in the fuge and if i put the pumps in the return section were do i put the output of the reactors? Can i run one reactor off my main return pump? Need some ideas please. Thanks

just like you said .... put a MJ pump in the return section of your sump, and output towards the return pump ...

you can also run it off of a manifold form the return .. but seems liek you are done with plumbing anyways ..

pic of one of my old sumps :

both pumps are in return section and output in same section closer to return

Thanks, that seemed like the most reasonable place. Put the output as close to the input of the main return. Some will get recirculated but the majority should go to the DT.
