Media Reactor Placement?

[adamf83]

I’m looking into getting a media reactor, however I’m quite tight when it comes to space in the sump. I have a Clarisea Filter Roller in the back chamber, Skimmer next and the return chamber.

I don‘t think I’ll be able to fit the body of the reactor in with either the filter roller or skimmer, so is there any issue with housing the reactor body in either of the return chamber or fresh water chamber so long as it’s pumping water out from one of the other chambers?

I’m curious what others do if they are limited on space.

My media reactor sits outside of the sump and is fed off of the return line thru a tee, with a valve, then it just flows back to the Skimmer section of my sump.
