Best way to link 3 phosban 150 reactor?

[Xerxes_Zoanthids444]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for the best way to link 3 phosban 150 reactors together so I only use one plug for the water pump instead of 3? If you can help me I would really appreciate it!

Thank you

Make a manifold

If you have a sump and your return line has unions, you can plumb them all inline with the return, using the pump from that.

If not they should have come with soft rubber elbows and adapters to run each together. Keep in mind you'll want the highest flow media first, decreasing in flow in the second and more so in the third.

In case it helps, I wouldn't recommend this setup....if it's a shortage of power outlets leading you to try it, instead get one of these:

...or a regular power strip.

Then you can just run one pump per reactor.

Much better control, much easier to maintain and should be better performance since flow can easily be tailored for each reactor (if needed).

If linked, their flow is all interdependent...if you have a problem with one, you have a problem with all three. Dead pump....clogged media...etc.

What's the plan for so many reactors? :)
