I can not remember where the thread was but they talked like it should be placed in line. Grr I will have to find that. They did not expand on why. I remember reading that GFO absobs more phosphates at a higher PH or some thing like that I am getting old.

You don't want bio pellets in line. You want it to flow out by your skimmer to skim out all the extra bacteria or you get bacteria film stuff in your display tank. Gfo is fine inline

You do not want to do that. Completely different flow rates. My pellets are over 100gph yet my gfo is way lower than that. Any more to the group and it will grind it up. Also you want the pellet out to go directly to the Skimmer while group does not.
