Best place for reactor

Scarebus380 · 10/09/2015, 09:56 AM

Hi

My new tank has been running for several months but the nitrates are at 20ppm.
The local aquarium shop said to get a reactor to put in sump to help reduce them even lower.
1. Does anyone recommend reactors as a nitrate reducer?
2. Where would be the best place to put it?

As you can see from my picture, mu sump is running as follows
Overflow-skimmer-refugium-crushed coral-return pump.

Many thanks for your advice.

I run our GFO reactors in our sump, submerged.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you put them before or after sump, or in my case can it go in with the sump or in with return pump chamber?
