Hi, quick question, I have a 100gal mixed reef tank with high Nitrates 60ppm and added a OCTO BR-70 Bio-pellet reactor that can hold up to 300ml total and I started with 150ml of bio-pellets with the out-put flow of the reactor directed to the skimmers inflow. After just a few days my protein skimmer stopped skimming and looked like it was running lean "boiling water effect" ran the reactor for a month and no skimmate from protein skimmer. So I stopped the bio-pellet reactor and protein skimmer began working normal again after 6hrs. Any thoughts on why my protein skimmer stopped skimming with the bio-pellet reactor? Ive read its important to run both together for effectiveness...please help someone!!
