Biopellet Reactor set up

[Mark3]

Well, I took a few hours today and hooked up the biopellet reactor. Connected it directly to the skimmer intake. Trying to get nitrate under control, something I have needed to do for years. Have always had high nitrate...water changes never worked for me.

Have you ever tired a refugium with chaeto? Very effective at lowering nitrates. Much more sustainable.

No, was on my to-do list ...that's why the pink grow light on the sump....just never got it done.

Ok...4 months and ready for an upgrade to this reactor. This one will not handle the amount of pellets I need to run.
Would like some help finding the right reactor for me...less than $200 ...125gal tank with 40gal sump.
Looking at lifegard large...but does it have too much spinning?

Would like review of biopellet reactors ...give me your thoughts.
