Managing multiple sump reactors into one

    I have several questions below that I would love some answers to!

    1. Can I install the reactors in line? That will eliminate the need for multiple water pumps.
    2. If I install them in-line, in what order should I do so?
    3. Nitra-Guard and Phospha-Guard essentially require an airline to be injected into their reactor. There is quite a large flow of air involved, and I don't want air tumbling through the other subsequent reactors. Is this a legitimate concern?
    4. To increase the effectiveness of Nitra-Guard and Phospha-Guard. What kind of reactor is suitable, to inject not just air but also a small amount of vinegar via an automatic doser?


    I'm considering all pieces of advice and opinions. They will be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Sure, you can install the reactors in line, it'll be like a science project. Start with a mechanical filter, then the Phospha-Guard, followed by the Nitra-Guard. This order will let the airline work without disruption. Now, as for injecting vinegar, you might want to look into a dosing pump fitted reactor, it'll be like your sump is having a salad dressing bath daily. Be careful not to turn it into a ceasar salad though. Just remember, balance is the key in the sump world!
