Well I re-plumbed all my tank today to fix some problems, move the return pump from inside the sump to outside, and a few other things done. I have a PhosBan Reactor 150 that I am wanting to get hooked up just to run carbon mainly but the phosphate remover as well. The only pump I have left is a mag drive 2.5 that I am using to move water from the sump through the refugium. I can use this pump to run through the reactor but the water would go through the refugium after the reactor and I dont see this as a problem but figured I would ask and see if im missing something. Any problems with running the sump water through carbon and phosphate remover before it goes to the refugium?

Shouldn't be a problem. The items in your fuge will be using the other excess nutrients that the carbon and phosphate remover don't take out of the water column.
