So I am transiting to use biopellets instead of carbon dosing. I was just wondering if I should replace either .08 rox carbon, gac or just add another reactor to the equation. I'm just tired of manually dosing Red Sea nopox daily.

You will want to add a new reactor, one specifically designed for biopellets. Biopellet reactors require a much stronger flow (and I think are up flow). Also biopellets will not replace your need for carbon and GFO, at least not the GFO immediately. There are some reactors that are convertible but Im just not that familiar with them. Full disclosure, I have never used biopellets, but I did plumb a biopellet reactor into my setup and then decided not to use it. The reactor was removed and the spot not has my kalk stirrer in it.

Your carbon is for water clarity. If your water gets yellow, continue using it. Your GAC should be gradually reduced as your BP reactor matures, @ 8 wks. Test your nutrients frequently to see what adjustments you need to make. I ran a Rox reactor with my BP reactor for water clarity.
