1 manifold pump biopellet reactor, GFO reactor, fuge, nitrate reactors
2 recirculation pumps on nitrate reactors
1 AWC drain pump
9 total running 3 tanks from 1 sump 29, 75 and 240 gallons
 
I have 3
1. Main return
2. Separate Manifold
3. Deltec skimmer

4) which is sometimes a power head in my Refugium area ( which I should just have the manifold do this. Idea for my next project )
 
50 gallon:
  • Eheim Return
  • Eheim for skimmer
  • Eheim for manifold to reactors (carbon, bio pellets, rowaphos as needed)
(tightly packed sump so went with low maintenance A/C pumps that don't need frequent cleaning, use GHL flow monitoring to determine if need cleaning)

Already purchased for 200 gallon being set up:
  • Abyzz for return manifold, including chiller and UV
  • Abyzz for manifold, including skimmer, reactors (carbon, bio pellets, rowaphos as needed), general flow/detritus suspension in refugium and sump
 
1 DC return.
1 powering reef octo 110ss.
1 nano sicce pump for refugium circulation.
1 powering carbon canister.
