Manifold

[pbell101]

Hello all. I have a 56 gallon column tank that is cycling, with a very small sump. I'm having issues finding space for a heater in it. My old one tripped my gfi, and I don't really trust it any more. I'm thinking of running an inline heater with an external thermostat. I was wondering if installing this behind my tank is a viable option for a reef tank, or would I run into any issues?

This is a manifold that I made for my freshwater 40 gallon long tank. I use it with an inline heater and CO2 injection. Can I use it for a reef tank as well? Could I also hook up a chiller and whatever reactor I might want as well?

Yes provided your pump is strong enough you can use a manifold (without any brass fittings).

Cool. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, good eye on the brass fittings. I'd learned they tarnished, even with the fresh water, and have since changed em to plastic. My pump should be strong enough. I had to tone it back some. It was too strong for my sump. Water was splashing though the sock.
