Gfo and carbon question

[drjett]

Hey guys I have a question to run by you all.

So I am going to start running GFO and Carbon in a dual reactor on my new 90 gallon.

My gut tells me that I should install the reactor pump after the protein skimmer so that there is slightly cleaner water going through the reactor.

Is my logic correct?

Thanks in advance

Makes sense to me.

I guess it really depends on the amount of flow through your skimmer chamber. I run my pumps in the same chamber as my skimmer and output to my return section. But, I run with a fast flow Berlin sump and my skimmer could never pull all of that water in the chamber.

The OP is what I would do.

I run carbon, GFO, and matrix and I have the reactor pump in the same area as the return pump (after the skimmer chamber).
