Hi all. I'm interested in possibly running a manifold to feed some equipment (separate from my return), but have a few questions and would love someone to sanity check what I'm doing.
Here's what I want to run:
1. 1/5 HP Chiller
2. Algae Scrubber
3. 40 watt UV
4. Carbon/Media reactor (from BRS, this might not be used)
Current Plan:
Reef Octopus VarioS-4 accessory pump
Outlet 1: Algae Scrubber -> Chiller (inline, 500gph)
Outlet 2: UV -> Media Reactor (inline, 250gph)
Gate valves to control the two outlets
I'll measure the flow using timer + measuring cup method. UV is slow because I want to kill the uv sensitive dinoflagellates that have plagued my system. It seems like they slowly creep back if I stop running UV.
