Is it possible to put a phosban reactor under my tank without a sump? I currently have a HOB skimmer and would rather not have to pieces of equipment hanging on my tank. I also have no sump so I want to know if it is possible to put a phosban reactor under the tank.
When it doubt, read the manual:
2. Locating the reactor The PhosBan reactor can be seated upright in the
cabinet, in the filter sump, upright on the floor below the aquarium or hanging
on the side or rear of an aquarium. For hanging installations, use threaded
bolt provided in the base plate to level it against the aquarium wall. Wherever
it is located, the reactor must be upright and level to operate properly. To
prevent any risk of back-siphoning, the outlet of the water return hose should
not be located below the water line if the reactor is located below the level of
the aquarium or below where the return line enters the aquarium or sump. See
diagrams 1-4 for suggested installation options.
