I've got a custom waterbox penisula AIO that I'm building out, and have a question for those out there more knowledgeable than me. I've got a Skimz MBR127 macroalgae reactor I was saving for a build. Long story short I was a planning a dream SPS system, and life, kids and work convinced me to a pivot to a simpler AIO setup. I'm curious if you guys think I could utilize the Skimz MBR by running constant flow through it with an ecotech versa kinda like an external reactor. It's designed to be an in-sump system, but I could reconfigure the inputs and outputs and run it externally. My main concern is throughput and whether I'd actually get good growth.

Thoughts?
