Yes

Kien,

Can you post larger pics of your install so I can tell where your vertex draws from and returns to in your sump.

Thanks

I snapped quite a few pics of my pellet rig here. Let me know if you want me to email you the full resolution pictures; pm me your email and I'll email them to you.

I think this is what you're looking for though?



After the water drops into the sump and through a filter sock, the first thing that it runs into is the pellet reactor powered by a 500gph pump. The outlet of the reactor points at the inlet to my skimmer, then over a few baffles and into the return section of the sump.

I have been battling hair algae in my 28g nano cube and have tried almost everything, now as a last resort I am interested in giving these new n/p pellets a go.
Seeing how there is no room for a reactor on the tank I am wondering if I could bag the pellets and just put them in the overflow chamber? I could maybe take the bag out every few days and give it a shake. Would there be enough movement for this to work? Any other ideas how to add them reactor-less?

Thanks all!

The pellets need to be tumbled vigorously, so no your idea will not work. If possible figure out how to run a fluidizer.

Here is my reactor tumbling nicely.

Nice movement in that TLF. What powerhead are you using? How many pellets in that reactor?
