    So I had a seaclone laying around and I figured I would take it apart and make it into a biopellet reactor.
    Step 1: I removed the center tube
    Step 2: I cut out the small inner tube
    Step 3: Inserted a round screen in the bottom
    Step 4: Your done lol
    So basically I made a worthless skimmer into a great cheap reactor and it only to like 20 min.

    Is that an "action shot"? I ask because you actually want them to be tumbling and not just mostly sitting on the bottom like that.
