    I have my drain split to feed a BRS mini reactor. In the reactor, I will be running GFO in the bottom of the reactor and carbon in the top. These are separated by a sponge filter pad. The purpose is to prevent the GFO from grinding down the carbon. The carbon is packed in to prevent tumbling and the GFO has a little space to allow a light tumble.

    I have one dosing pump installed, will be installing the 2nd.

    Oni can't decide on how to source my ATO. I have a JBJ, buy the reservoir is the issue. I could use a BRS container like in the image, but a pump won't fit inside of it. I would need to use an aqualifter and idk if it will move water quick enough. It couldn't keep up with my 120.
