Innovative Marine Nuvo Mini 38 Question

Greetings all.

I've just purchased a IM Nuvo Mini 38 tank.
As this is my first marine tank venture I've enlisted some help from a professional to get things up and going..
He's advising getting a protein skimmer and a reactor.
I'm going to get the IM models, but in the reactor will not fit width wise in the heater column. Can I put the reactor in the return pump column and still achieve success with the reactor
I'll be using an auto top off system.

Thanks in advance!

 

I am not familiar with the Nuvo tanks, nor their skimmer or reactor. However, you could always get an external reactor such as a Phosban 150. Run it with a Maxi-jet 600 pump if you can fit it inside one of the chambers and you are good to go.

 

Any reactor is better than none!

 

Welcome to 3reef.

Congratulations on the new tank. I have seen a couple on the forums and they are very nice.
