Looking great Alan. I'm sure the transfer will go well with the tanks being right next to one another like that. I may need to pick up a new regulator as well. Bumped mine against the stand pretty could and now its tough to adjust the co2 accurately like before. Not sure what type to go with, my current one is rusting a bit so I'll be looking at a SS type for sure.

Under hood is work in progress. Still need to connect the apex and organize wires.

I did move the gate valve into the sump area when i changed my sump. So things look little different

I can't see the check valve. Have a better pic? Also, could you do me a favor and measure the base of the reactor? I'm thinking of the same one for my tank.

What are you going to use to feed the reactor?

Originally i was going to use a Aqua lifter, but i dont want any weak links, they can clog, fail etc. So i will use a manifild feed from my return pump with a needle valve.

Are you going to add a gate valve after the manifold to add some back pressure?
