That is normal, and like the others are saying you should have the outlet pointing directly at the skimmer. how fast are they dissolving?

Yes the outlet of my reactor is directed into the input of my skimmer. Its a Two Little fishes 150, powered by a maxi jet 1200. I would say the bio pellets are dissolving and a slow rate, with a mild tumbling rate. About a cup of pellets in the reactor.

But it clogging my other two reactors, pretty quickly, is my main issue.
Just wondering what can be done to prevent this from happening.

how long have you been running the pellets now? If not for very long then maybe the systems still needs to balance out. In the meantime you have to manually clean/extra mulm. Or, if you've been running pellets for a while now, maybe your skimmer is undersized for the tank+bioPellet combo.
