Suggestions for equipment

[Joshua Morey]

Hey all, I'm looking for suggestions as to what other equipment I can run. Currently running a bare bones set up.

30 gal tank
20 gal sump
Reef octo classic 152 skimmer
Cheato in the fuge


I figured I could add a media reactor (one from BRS) to help further filter the water and to bring phosphates down.
Only problem here is I don't know where I would put it. exterioir options?

I also want to add an RO/DI unit so I can ditch the 5 gallon fill up jugs and FREQUENT trips to Walmart. Again best way to set up/best brand/ sink vs water line?

Anything else I should add to the sump? Room is pretty scarce but I'm open to ideas and suggestions for what runs best with what and which brands y'all think are the best.

REEF ON!!

An ATO would be a good addition to your setup. As far as a media reactor you may want to look for one that can run externally from your sump like this http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-gfo-carbon-dual-reactor.html depending on what type of media you'd like to run. I ran into space issues and currently run that on my own tank. I also use the BRS 6 Stage RO/DI and am really happy with it.

Ato like suggested, and for Rodi brs is a good place to buy one. Media reactor external will require another pump or T'ing off existing pipeline.

I love running a controller on my systems. Honestly wouldn't run a system without one. I know it's not for everyone but I like having failsafes especially when it comes to heaters. They always seem to malfunction on me.
