Kinda just fishing for some ideas on the best way to do this without messing up my skimmer? I have an sca-302 add most everyone knows.
I just so happen to have an extra blue ventri valve laying around and wondered if it would effect the air our skimmer in anyway if I simply drilled a hole on the side of it and stuck the output for my bio pellet reactor into it?

Just like this?.....

I would think the venture would not do anything without a good amount of flow and pressure.

Well it will still have the hole for the skimmer pump to pull water through. So it would be the bio pellet reactor and the skimmer pump going into the skimmer.
I already tried routing the bio pellet reactor straight into the skimmer pump and that didn't work, even though my skimmer and reactor use the exact same pump. Atman 2000.
