Setup question

Cosmic Charlie · 02-09-2006, 06:56 AM

I'm almost ready to get started with the co2 injection in my tank. I'm just waiting for a couple parts to come in. I have a question now. I'm going to use a co2 reactor as well as a uv sterilizer. Should I run the water through the sterilizer or the reactor first? OR... Should I have 2 separate powerheads? What are you guys doing?

Thanks,
Tony

Run them seperate or the sterilizer first, then the reactor. You don't want to pump CO2 through your sterilizer.
