Hooking biopellet reactor up with skimmer

I thought I share this simple solution I just found out and hopefully it helps someone.

Basically all you need is a water bottle. Cut both end open but pay attention to how much you cut off on the drinking end because you want to keep it just a little bigger than you skimmer intake. The other end is for the outlet from the biopellet reactor. The goal is to have most of the water that comes out of the reactor to be directed to the skimmer. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but basically the white tube on the right that goes into the bottle is the outlet of the reactor. And on the left side is the skimmer pump. Since I have this setup I have to clean the skimmer cup every other day vs. every five day to a week before.
