Building new sump - which section for a Zeovit reactor??

[thearnley]

I'm building a new sump for my 220 gallon reef out of a 150 gallon glass tank (72" x 18" x 29") with an external pump. The 1st section will be the drain and skimmer section. I also plan to have a section filled with live rock (no lights). I'm currently researching and thinking about moving to a Zeovit system. Where should I put the Zeovit reactor - I know it goes after the skimmer section but can it be in the same section as the return - or should it go in a separate section?

I build custom Zeo sumps and build a chamber for the zeo reactor which draws water in one side then returns into return chamer area, I do this so eveything I dose such as zeo start, zeo bac. ect. goes though reactor before entering system. Here's a few pic's of some of my zeo sump builds hope this helps

the next sump is my lastest build not yet installed but one of the nicest so far

this pic. lets you see intake for zeo reactor area

Wow Guerry, that is coming out awesome! Great acrylic work dude!

Here is mine. I made it out of glass. (cutting back on plastics ) You want the reactor dumping out in the last chamber btw
