Sump rebuild to accommodate media reactor

[Dan321]

Hi, I have just purchased a Aquaforest AF90 Media Reactor and I’m going to build a new sump to accommodate it. My current set up is as showed in diagram. I am after advice on how best to design new sump and where to pump media reactor. Should it have its own pump or can I plumb it direct to return pump. I will be starting again with whole new sump so all help will be grateful.

What kind of media reactor. Look up trigger sumps and emulate their design. The way you have it set up is not a great idea.

Way too much filtration media as well.
