Mag 9.5 on a 90g w/ two reactors

I have a Mag 9.5 plumbed to my 90 gallon. I would like to make a manifold for a BRS calcium and GFO reactor. Would I have enough flow circulation for the tank, sump and both reactors?
 
you're fine.

the only other part of the equation is the type of overflow, but you should have enough pump to do what you are wanting.
 
I have a 1" drain 3/4" return standard aga 90g overflow.
I have been reading around, I'm not sure if I want to cut back that much on flow by making a manifold off the 9.5.
Maybe I could add a smaller eheim pump in the return section and just make a manifold off that. Might be better than using two seperate maxijets for each reactor.
 
I'm using a 9.5 as primary return on my 75 AGA (plus I have it feeding a fuge) and I'm wanting a little more flow.... I would run a second pump, just my .02
 
Having been the purchaser of a mag 7,9,12, and 18... I'd recommend a bigger pump, especially with two reactors. It all also greatly depends on your plumbing design but I'd go with a mag12... Easier to throttle it back than wish for more power
