Yea that little step has been the best thing ever with how high the tank is... yea I only ended up using three zones on my manifold but I figure there is always something to add further down the road lol

Wow... I've seen people get paid to build things that can't compare to all that DIY! Looks great!
Thanks, only regret is I didn't use FRP board on all the walls, it would look f4 better if I had but next time I won't make that mistake

Well.... I got both the reactors working now just running carbon and gfo. I placed them both in the sump below water line in hopes of conserving some heat from the water passing through them.
