Well this is just an idea, but has anyone implemented a reactor for carbon or RowaPhos on the outlet pipes from a display tank?
My theory is that I have the flow from the display tank bulkheads run into a larger tube, which is full of some form of media. There is a ballvalve on the inlet and outlet so I can regulate the flow when needed and take the 'reactor' out to change media periodically.
This way, 100% of the water entering the sump will be treated by the media. If of course you have a heavy flow rate through the sump, you can T the reactor inlet to either have some flow by-pass the media and go straight into the sump or you can add another reactor with more media.
What does everyone think? What are the drawbacks that I have overlooked so far!
