    I thought about two ways of doing it.

    1) Put a 1 1/4" coupling and an end cap on the open end. Then a barb fitting so I can connect the flex tubing to that (which will go to the sump).

    2) OR put a T in my return line, using the return pump for the reactor. Connect the return line to the reactor (thus making it, an "in-line" reactor), separated by a ball valve to adjust flow to it. Then the other end will have the flex tubing going back to the sump.

    I measured it and the siphon "chamber" (aka reactor) can hold a max of 300ml, probably more like 250ml with room for movement. But that's still plenty. I am going to run about 175ml.

    Glad I could help! :victory:

    Will you have one of these attached to every pendant on a separate line?

    Thats cool. You could have the 40* higher up than the 60*s to compensate for spread and equalize PAR.
