The H&S A110, A150, & A250 for a little size comparison.

Nice family. I've always wanted to give the A110 a whirl. If you decide not to use the A110 and wish to unload or trade it, give me a PM. The A150 and A250 are real beauts.

What's up Scott ! I plan on using the A110 on the quarantine tank. If I end up not needing it in the future you'll be the first in line.

Other updates:
I'm expecting my BRS order to come in this week so I can finish up the plumbing. I also have to order my lights (lumenmax elites), ballasts (lumatek selectable 250/400 watt), & bulbs (leaning towards giesemans 14k se). Gen and I are working on a design for a metal rack similiar to the rim on my tank.

My BRS order arrived today.

More schedule 80 plumbing (as if I didn't have enough).

 

[gimmito]

4 deluxe BRS reactors and a Jumbo BRS reactor. I plan on using one deluxe reactor w/carbon and the jumbo reactor w/phosguard for the main display. One of each deluxe reactor for the frag tank and One deluxe reactor w/mix media for the quarantine tank.
Would you guys tee of the return or run a dedicated pump for the reactors ?
Any thoughts ?

 

[gimmito]

Phosguard and one very large 5 gallon bucket of carbon.

 

[gimmito]

(2) JBJ 500 watt titanium heaters (I'll hook them up to Ranco controllers).

 

[gimmito]

and of course to clean the tank...one serious Great White acrylic magnet cleaner.

Teeing off your return means that the incoming water will be recirculated from the sump, possibly reducing the efficacy of the reactors since some of that water has already been filtered.

Not sure if that makes much of a difference though...

Scott,

I never quite thought of it that way...wouldn't it be same if I had a dedicated pump for the reactors also ? I'm just trying to save from using additional pumps.
