sump setup

[cwatkins]

I'd return the sump separately than via the reactor or skimmer.

Reactors are known to slowly clog, and you don't want that affecting your flow.

But as mentioned above, once you get a sump, the reactor and skimmer can go in the sump.

I have 2 reactors and a skimmer in my sump. Essentially instead of hanging a reactor off the side of something, I hang them inside the sump. My biopellet reactor is powered by it's own submerged MJ1200. My carbon reactor feeds off of the return but it's low-flow (Rox 0.8). And of course the skimer has a built in pump, but it sits in the sump.
