I have a 50-55g with a 10g sump and I have a Med->Heavy Bio load and am using the same skimmer as the original poster. I am using Bio-Pellets and Rowa and things are great... no looking back...
I am using a TLF Phosban 150 & have cut the central post about 2/3 the way down and secured it with plumbers tape. As well as the mesh to keep them in. I have a larger than normal pump but that way they dont clump. no regrets and the reactor was only a few bucks... whole thing was less than a hundred bucks...

C:N:P
I believe adding biopellets will reduce your nitrates, but you might experience a rise in phosphates. Remember the Redfield ratio is 106:16:1. You mess with one and another of the three might become the limiting factor. Adding biopellets (C source) will help you lower N for sure. But you will still need phosban to lower phosphates.
I run both biopellets and ROWAphos and I'm happy with my tank. Just start small, and increase the amount of biopellets gradually.
