Which pump for my reactors?

[CKI]

So I am gradually declining with vodka dosing and plan to put my 2 Phosban 150s back online and run GFO and Carbon. However, i have NO room in the stand by the sump. So this forces me to place both units in a closet next to my tank where my ATO is. My ? is which pump will i need to effectively tumble the media as needed. I'm figuring roughly 6ft from sump to reactors and then 6ft back to the sump. I think a MJ1200 will work on theGFO but not sure about the carbon. Any input would be great.

Cobalt mj1200 works great for me.

I used those on my old setup, but as stated ill have a 6ft run from the pump to the reactor so I'm not sure about the head pressure.

My pump Is about 5' away and the return Is about 4'. Valves are only at 75% and getting good flow. Gfo is tumbling prefect.

Are you running the dual setup like BRS sells or single canisters? Better yet, do ya have a pic of your setup?
