Hello :D

Below is my 30G sump, broken down in 3 chambers: Skimmer > Fuge > Return.

Where should I place my 2 PhosBan reactors? One will contain carbon, and the other will contain phosphate media remover.

Should I place them both in my Return chamber? Or in my Skimmer one, pouring water directly into my return chamber (skipping the fuge)?

Thanks :)

I would suggest hanging them off the far right side where they will spill over into the return side. This is the exact set up I have been using for years and it works great for me. Good luck

So the pump will be placed in the return side, spilling water within the same chamber? :) Thank you

Yes I wish I was as good at the drawings but pumps to reactors will be in return side with the reactors hanging on far right side and out flows spilling into same return chamber.
