Ok... little about me i am new to reefing and and doing homework so I am all set for my 75 gal rimless build in the coming months. I have a few questions:

starting off i know i will not need any media reactors for carbon, gfo or bio pellets but i am planning my plumbing and want to account for these items in my design.

Does the manifold go between your return pump and your tank? if so does the return pump lose any power being that it is feeding these reactors?

1- Should i setup a chaeto reactor during cycle or after?
2- should i start gfo and carbon during cycle or after?
3- reactor go from manifold into sump, where in the sump does the return of into?

any sump with manifold pics would be appreciated.

also opinions on equipment for the build:

tank: deep blue professional 75 gal rimless
lights: ocean revive or photon 48" v2
skimmer: skimz Monzter SM161 or bubble mag curve 7
return pump: waiting on new sicce Syncra SDC or Vectra M1
wave makers: Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6055 Controllable
sump: 36" DIY or something similar
ATO: Tunze Osmolator full package
salt: not sure yhet either Reef Crystals or Red Sea PRO
Media Reactors: gfo, Carbon, Bio pellets and Chaeto Reactor
controller: not sure yet. maybe in future

Missing anything?
