You don't want just a slight tumble with pellets, you want them to tumble a lot, otherwise they will clump guaranteed. You want the outlet hose of the reactor to output right where the input is to your skimmer.
I'm also running Prodibio Bioclean with the pellets. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

You might want to disconnect your uv sterilizer as it could have a negative affect on the bacteria you are trying to bennefit from the bio pellets.

It might be a good idea to take the GFO offline. If you use bacteria for nutrient export, you don't want to upset the balance nitrates-phosphates. Make sure that you bring the effluent of the pellet reactor close to the skimmer intake.

Removing UV is to help the bacteria stays in the water column and eventually make it into the reactor and seed the pellets. removing phos ban is to have the nutrient in the water to feed those bacteria that you want to grow. I am 1 week into the bio pellets, and water just turn cloudy. Which is normal due to the population boom of the bacteria in the system.

There is evidence that aquarium UV sterilizers have no significant effect on bacteria levels in the water column. If you want the details you can check out the March 2011 issue of Advanced Aquarist. I'm not sure why you're running it but in regards to bacteria populations it sounds like it won't matter if you run it or not.
