Yeah, really don't get why people bother with dosing carbon. I tried it once many years ago, and decided very quickly this was going to be too much work (and attention). Got a bio pellet reactor then and couldn't be simpler. Just add some bio pellets about once a year (went a year and half last time) and forget. N03 consistently stays near zero until bio pellets run out.
And no extra pump with mine. I have a T off my return line that runs through my chiller, and return from that goes through my bio pellet reactor.
