Hello R2R

I am converting my emerald 34 trigger systems sump into a triton sump.

Here is the sump: http://www.triggersys.com/ts/emerald_sumps/
(scroll down)

I also have a Regal INT 6: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/regal-150int-6-internal-protein-skimmer-varios-reef-octopus.html

I plan on moving the skimmer into the second chamber and converting the first chamber into a refugium with a Kessil h80 and a sicce 1.0.

My problem is that I want to add a carbon reactor but don’t have enough space for a hang on reactor like a PhosBan. Nor do I have enough space in the second chamber to place a gfo reactor. I am worried that if I put one in the refugium chamber that it would compete with the Chaeto. Could I put the reactor in the return section? Should I risk putting it in the refugium? Y’alls thoughts would be appreciated.


Here is a more in depth thread of my specs and further detail:

Could you just tie into the return for the reactors and dump in into the first chamber. I have a Sapphire 34 sump, which is the same thing.
