How many use them? Could I do a dual reactor, Purigen in one chamber, carbon in the other? If so, can I run a small cobalt pump in my return with my return pump? It would be plumbed to go to reactor, then uv sterilizer, then back to return section of sump. Is this doable?

My setup will be a 125 with dual overflows. I don't want to run a chiller so are T5s and MH out of the question? If so LEDs, Kessil, Taotronics? Or is there something else out there worth looking into?
