Good afternoon guys,

I'm planning on hard plumbing two aquamaxx reactors to my manifold. But I have a question about hard plumbing the outputs to the same pvc and then on to the sump. Do you guys think there would be any problems if I do it this way?

Thanks in advance.

What sort of reactors? If its a Carbon and a GFO then no issues.
 
Then no problems I can see. Both reactors will have pressure so they will not be pumping stuff into each other. The effluent will not contain anything that cant be mixed before it hits the fuge. As long as you control the flow to each one then you should be fine. GFO = slow tumble, Carbon = no tumble

Cool thanks
 
I would put the carbon reactor closest to the sump as it will have more flow. If it were 1st & had the flow cranking through, it could form a siphon on the second reactor. If they are both controlled by the same water feed valve, then no worries. Carbon packed between foam, gfo gentle tumble
