Hey all! Put this in my tank thread as well but hoping for some ideas from some experienced reef plumbers… I ran a y joint from my return line into a separate cabinet unit I built with the bottom cabinet meant for the reactors. I mounted them ran the pipe there, split it off again, and ran line into each reactor then the return line back into the sponge filter in the sump. However the hoses are a bit kinked and I’m concerned that it is limiting the flow and therefore effectivity of my media in the reactors. I don’t want to cut the hosing TOO short because I’m afraid it won’t connect with the barbs right and will leak everywhere. Any ideas?
