So the plan for my waterbox 130.4 is to have a seperate manifold. Not going to my return. Run 2 media reactors from aquamaxx standard size. One for gfo one for carbon. Wont run gfo unless its needed but it will be there till then. So I plan on have the manifold with 2 reactors and at the end run to aqua uv 57. My understanding for max effects I want 3x turnover rate. So my plan is using a sicce 2.0 which is 560gph. Running the carbon and potentially gfo. Obviously with gate valve. Is there enough juice in that sicce to properly run that 57w for my tank. Or should I go one size up to sicce 3.0
 
I have a Varios2 DC pump on my 90. It works but I have it running near max to get the turn over I want. Bought a backup but went a bit larger with a Varios4.
 
But meanwhile I have to figure out how I'm going to put the 25w uv in my stand lol. Creative hard piping coming up. Along with 2 aquamaxx standard reactors
