I have a 150 gallon Aquoen tank with built in over flows. I want to put split the out of an fx6 to the return lines of the over flows and then split the inlet from the overflows as well.

Somewhere in between on the out let I want to split the out of the filter and put some ball valves to slow down the water and have it go into a co2 reactor and uv filter then get put back into the return before it hits the bulk head.

Has anyone done this?? If so can you post some pics so I can get an idea of how to do it.

I have heard the fx6 is so sensitive that if the output goes down below the unit it will not prime itself. Is this exagerated or is it too hard to do what I want with an fx6??

I read this thread over & over....I'm so confused...what?!!

Do you have the overflow plumbed into the FX6? You can split the output from the FX6...be sure to include ball valves for each...and you can connect the co2 reactor onto one of the output and the uv sterilizer connected to the other output. Then you want to split the inlet from the overflows? That's where I'm lost. Are you running a sump?...if you do, it would work better if you ran a separate return pump and connect the co2 reactor from that pump.

Check this out...the return is split and I don't see why you can't include the reactor & sterilizer onto each.
