manifold ?

nurjrk · 08/11/2014, 07:32 AM

So I'm looking at doing a manifold off my return line to feed my carbon and GFO reactors. My question is, it's off the return line so it won't be under pressure. Is it going to feed my reactors well enough? I'm using a Quiet One 3000 through 3/4" pvc to a 34 gal mixed reef. Is this wise to do or should I forget about it.
Thanks
Jeff

It'll be fine. I've used many pumps this way. Way less noisy and cluttered that having the little pumps all over.

Technically there is pressure in the return line since you are forcing water through it. And it is enough to power the reactors.

Thanks, it's a go then.
