cool! I didn't realize those reactors were available for sale, and I didn't know that Part 2 of that video was out.

In Part 2 he points out a key component to these bio pellets that is typically repeated by successful bioPellet users. It is very important to place the outlet of the bioPellet reactor into or near the inlet of your skimmer so that it can skim off the excess nutrients. It is also important to have a powerful enough skimmer to pull out the Biopellet mulm as well as the typical crap in your water column.

It sounds odd that you are using BioPellets to strip nutrients, while at the same time the BioPellets will slough off nutrients, but that's just how it works I guess. So if your setup isn't quite right you can still in theory have a Biopellet reactor pulling out Nitrates and Phosphates just fine, while at the same time feeding your tank's nuisance bacteria and algaes with the excess and undetectable nutrients from the bioPellets.

I built this one with some stuff I had kicking around, it's been running for about 2 weeks

if anyone has a Kalk reactor around that uses a pump you could accomplish the same thing using that and possibly an aqua lifter of some sort.
