Recirculating Biopellet Reactor Idea
This may be hard to put into writing, the idea kind of makes sense in my noggin but im not sure if it'll work the same way as the other DIY recirculating biopellet reactor that rely on the outlet going back into the pump itself.
I was thinking of getting a standard pellet reactor, one with an inlet and outlet ... what Im playing around with in my head is making the outlet go back into the inlet (use a t piece irragation fitting) and then drill and tap an airline hole (into the t piece) and have a control valve on this line that goes to my skimmer inlet? I can then control via this line the amount of flow out of the reactor?
Why? I dont want to use another pump to tumble the pellets, i'd rather use my return pump to run all future reactors in addition to the pump return to DT. Wishful thinking?
