I'll jump on for a reactor and ATO
Thats 24 and 18 for the unassembled parts?
75G Mixed Reef w/ 30G sump/refuge

Electrical Engineers do it on impulse, with faster rise times, with more power, and less resistance at higher frequencies, without shorts, until it Hertz

I assume you just have the powerhead on the relay to turn on and stir while you are toping off with another topoff pump?

I am using a little 500 gph pump for topoff, is there any reason I couldnt just use that pump in the bottom inlet and use it to stir without the need for the extra pump?

No  the relay is used just for the top off. The float switch drops and turns on the pump to add water to the tank or reactor. I have my reactor pump set to come on twice a day to stir the kalk.I use a timer to have it come on an noon and midnight. If your up in my area you are more than welcome to come out and see how i have mine set up

Mike,

What size thread did you use to tap the threaded holes for the input/output? I want to convert them to 1/4" fittings so I can run it off my Aqualifter pump.

yes sorry i have moved to a new position at work. Which included moving to dayshift. My new position is very demanding as I am next in leadership right under my new boss. It will take a little while to get use to. The ato's are done and i am working on the kalk reactors through out the week. I will post when they are done. Sorry for the delay
