    I'm awaiting my phoban reactor, so I am figuring out how I want to set it up. I already have a UV sterilizer in the sump, Coralife Turbotwist, and I want to run one pump for both if i can. I already have a MJ 600 running on the UV, can I just take the return of the UV and plug it right into the phosban reactor or will that be too little flow. If too much, I can restrict with the valve. So, looks like I might not need the 1200. Hmm...any ideas.

    I would let the UV run on it's own or make a manifold to run them both off of. You will have to slow down the PO4 reactors flow and that would slow down the UV if you put them in series.
