An Excuse To Spend More Money I Don't Have?

Yes, it is.

Just remember that when consolidating pumps, that makes the need for a spare pump even more important. A spare is important either way, but when you need a specific one, then that is where it is very good to have a back up on hand.

 

I thought about that too, but I didn't have the room for it. If RS is pressed for space it might be hard to have it all on one pump. All those ball and gate valves take up a lot of room and they have to be somewhat accessible.

 

That's true they do take up a lot of room.

 

Here's some pics. It's a little crowded in there to get good pics. Behind the skimmer in one pic you can see my manifold for the reactors.
