Need help! Complex reaction POS setup

Here's the situation:
I have two moons and I want to turn the 4 minerals on those moons into a complex reaction.
With Two large caldari towers, I cannot find a way to make it fit. I am hoping that is where I'm wrong.
Please give this a look and see if anybody with the right knowledge has some ideas I might put into play and make this work for me.


The moons:
1: Chromium / Silicates
2: Titanium / Evaporate Deposits

My idea on paper:

POS 1

Harvester (Silicates)
|
Silo (Feeds to 2nd Pos simple reactor)


Harvester (Chromium)
|
|
| Silo (holding titanium)
| /
Simple Reactor
(Titanium Chromide)
|
|
Silo (Simple reactor produces too much for coupling array)
|
| Silo (holding Silicon Diborite)
| /
Complex Reactor
(Titanium Carbide)
|
Silo

POS 2

Harvester (Evaporate Deposits)
|
Silo (Feeds Pos 1 Simple reactor)


Harvester (Titanium)
|
|
| Silo (holding Silicates)
| /
Simple Reactor (Silicon Diborite)
|
|
Silo (Simple Reactor produces too much for a coupling array)
|
| Silo (holding Titanium Carbide)
| /
Complex Reactor
(Titanium Carbide)
|
Silo

So that is the theorycrafted version of what I need.... which is 500 cpu over the limit of a large caldari POS
I can not think of anything I can do to cut the modules I need, I am hoping someone with more experience can.

The only solution I have is to find other moons with the minerals lined up for the reactor which would eliminate one silo, and then I would have the fitting to do it.
What I am hoping, is that there is another type of silo that will work, or something I have overlooked that somebody out there knows about.
So please help me out!!

PS. My forum posting skills are absolute crap. Forums removed all my spaces, making my nice neat diagram look like crap.
I hope its at least clear enough to get the idea. And if anyone knows how I can avoid the removal of all my spaces, teach me a thing or two about posting like a pro.

1. You don't need the silos between the output of the first reactor and the input of the second. A coupling array should do it.

IIRC, Silicon Diborite is 1 m3/unit, and you're outputting 200 units per hour. Your next reaction needs 100 Silicon Diborite + 100 Titanium Chromide ... outputting 10k units per hour.

You're always going to be +100 units of Silicon per hour, so you're only going to get like 15 hours out of the silo til it runs out of space.

It's been forever since I've done moongoo ... though something doesn't seem right here ... I'll have to see if I can dig up my old spreadsheets to see how that worked ... then again, I had three lg POS and a medium cranking the materials for whatever I was making at the time, so that might've been how I was handling the "overflow".

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I get what you're saying, but I think that swapping that silo for a coupling array won't be enough to fit either.
If it would work, I would do it, having to empty every 15ish hours is better than having to put up a 3rd pos to finish my reactions.

Thats the only spot you can think of that looks like it could be changed?
