Cool beans
Stealing that idea from ya buddy as I didn't wanna run another pump!! I'll give ya full props
In my tj amigo I can't really tell on your photos, are you skimming first? Than
Media reactors? If so I am led to believe if u rub bio pellets you have to have your skimmer
After your reactor to remove waste nutrients from the polymers in the media.
If I'm wrong it's nothing new and it happens alot!!! Especially with my gf
Another point worth noteing is some detirious may make it's way into the reactor and block
Flow or on a good note aid bacteria? Meh.....
I guess time will tell!!! Have fun paint balling and always aim high hahaha

two other reefers over here came up with the siphon/durso method so i am only copying them.
from the syphon the piping feeds both reactors then they discharge in front of the skimmer pump intake. the bio pellets outflow will go into a filter sock to catch any pellets that get throought the reactor. i will be trialling not using foam to keep the bio pellets in the reactor and see how many get out and into the filter sock. if its a few per day i think i will go with that and not have detritus build up inside the reactor and montior the mesh sock till its full. i plan on back flushing the reactors periodically to get all teh crap out of them. doing this is as simple as changing the feed pipe with the discharge

paintballing was fun, few bruises here and there, copped a paintball right on the end of the tockley without wearing a box
