Hey!


First off, I'm terrible at model drawing but I drew a simple visual. I'd like to see if there's a correct order for the skimmer, carbon, cheato and GFO to prevent foam loss on the skimmer or to prevent any cheato die off, ect. I currently have my carbon reactor next to my skimmer and I've ofter wondered if this effects the skim production, next is the cheato then my return area. I'm about to set up a GFO reactor and would like to hear suggestions in what order should all my filtration should run. I'm assuming pump location for the GFO isn't an issue and the output is probably the important question.

I appreciate any suggestions or information!

Yea that seems fine. Are you having nutrient issues? Gfo reactors are risky business.
