I have trigger 39 sump and plumbing for my reactors off return manifold currently. I am a bit worried about running r eww actors externally if there was ever a leak.

Should I scrap the refugium section of sump and run I sump reactor (a vast spyglass) or

Sick it up and run the reactors externally and keep the refugium.

Just looking for some thoughts I have seen some folks hang the aquamaxx type reactors over the sump not sure I will have room for that but that may be best option for me.

I was hoping to be able to fit reactors in with skimmer but it is a very tight fit unless there are some very narrow reactors available which I haven't found.

Thanks in advance for any guidance this is my last step to having everything I wanted in my system up and running.
 
My opinion...keep the fuge and run the reactors externally. I'm not going to say I've never had a reactor leak for fear of jinxing myself, but I haven't.
