Help with Carbon Reactor

[Ajae]

I taking a look at the BRS carbon reactor, where do you guys place the pump for it, and where does the output from it go? In the 1st chamber with the protein skimmer, in the refuge area, or in the return chamber?

In a high flow area for both input and output.

It doesn't matter where you place the pump and output. Just put them in a place convenient for you to change out the media. The easier it is to do the more likely you'll do it.
With that said i just bought the reactor itself without the pump and teed off my return line that way i didn't need another pump. I just added a gate valve for flow control.

I bought the BRS reactor as well and glad i did its super easy for maintenance.

Great idea, I'll just have to turn the power up on my return pump. is there a limit to the flow that can go though the reactor?

so in the input of the sump and the output (return) would this affect the water going into my refugeium?

It does matter,IMO, in terms of distributing the treated and untreated water.
