converting skimmer to bio pellets reactor.

[reefyfishi]

So I just wanted to share with you guys what I did this past weekend, I had this innovative marine nano skimmer for my 38 nuvo tank laying around collecting dust and since I want to run bio pellets on my tank, I diced to put it to good used, so converted it to a reactor and it works as I hope it would, I will be installing it this weekend to my tank, here is few pictures of the project.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. I have a BRS pellet reactor on the way, and this thread made me think of the AquaC Remora S I have in a box. Now I am wondering if I might use the output from the reactor as only feed to the Remora as it does not use a venturi. Hmmm..

I have a bare bottom tank

Here is a picture on how I plumb the reactor straight to the skimmer! As you can see im running a aqua c remora with a mag 3 so the reactor is plumb straight to the pump using some 3/8 line and a valve to control the flow on thereactor, i also have a you tube video if you want to see it better, I will post the link just in case, Hopefully that helps.
