Question about TLF Phosban Reactors. Need Help :)

Hello,
I have a question about setting these up. I am going to set up two of them. One with Phosban and one with SeaGel. My question is can I piggy back these or do they each need their own pump? I have a Maxi-jet 400 and 1200. If I can piggy back them on one pump which would you use? I was figuring have the Maxi-jet 1200 feed into the first reactor with Seagel then the output go into the input of the second with Phosban. Does this sound doable?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

if seagel contains phosguard, why run it along with phosban. I would just run carbon in one and phosban in the other. for best results, use seperate pumps and a valve to control flow. Carbon should be still and phosban should have a light tumble

Damn I have had the seagel for awhile and for some reason thought it was carbon and nitrate remover not phoshate :( I may still use it since it does have carbon and would rather not waste it. So it is better to use two pumps?

i run carbon through my tlf reactor .i just have a very small pump to it.i would think you can split the bigger pump to both reactors but i would add controll valves inline.if one of the reactors clogs up some then the other reactor will get too much flow.
probably better to get two pumps but i would think one should work if you keep an eye on it.
