Hey guys so I bought the BRS duel Media reactor pictured below for my AIO (I do not have a sump) it only has the back chambers.

What I am planning in the pictures below is putting the reactor canisters below in the stand, and routing the waterlines straight up (3-4ft) into the chambers.

1) Is this going to be a good safe setup, or am I leaving myself open to a possibility of a flood if something were to go wrong?

2) should I fully submerge the return line in the chamber like halfway down the chamber, or does it need to above waterline?

I felt like this was going to he a better setup than a drop in chamber reactor as my tank is 80 Gallons.

Im new to the reactor game and this is my first one. I just don't want a leak or want potential of a flood if this is not the best way to do this set.

What do you all think?

1. There's really no way for this to screw up unless the hoses were to become detached.
2. You'll want to submerge and secure the return line below the waterline (will probably be too noisy otherwise).
