Phosphate reactor?

[Reeftanker3295]

I have a refugium in my sump that I never set up and now I am thinking about just setting up a phosphate reactor in that section instead. My question is, how do you set it up and what would it do for my tank? I have all softies/leathers/zoas right now but I am going to get some SPS and LPS soon. I don't have algae problems but my corals aren't growing as fast as I would like them to. I know lighting and algae aren't a problem, I have 500w of MH's and 220w of super actinics over my 90g reef and I haven't had any problems yet. So is the phosphate reactor worth it? Will it help at all or should I stick with a fuge?

u can have a fuge and the reactor. the point to have a reactor is to limit as much phosphates ur introducing to the tank, the way put phosphate is by feedin ur tank and if u not using rodi .

+1 Do both.

+1 Do both.

I dont know if I have the room for both though... The fuge section is separate after the return section, if I put the pump to the phos reactor in the return section will the output on the reactor create enough flow for the small 12x12x10 fuge and then overflow back into the return section fast enough?
