Can I run GFO on using my biopalet reactor?

[Alexx]

Hi,
I have a question probably might sound a little stupid. But I have a biopalat reactor something like this one:
https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/br70-biopellet-reactor-up-to-100-gallons-reef-octopus/
it has the same shape but I don't see the brand tag, and I want to put GFO in it.

Do you guy's think that it can run like a GFO reactor?

Yes, I think it can for sure.
Start off with a small amount, then increase it to be sure it stays fluidized and not clumped.

I have a "media reactor" which is advertised as good for biopellets or GFO or whatever "media" you want. Basically they just push water through something from the bottom up to prevent compressing/clumping the media.

Good to know I think I might try it. I think I need to get a pump for it. Not sure if I can put it my return pup because I already have the UV Sterilizer.

Just don't fill it up very much...and make sure the flow is such that the GFO is "fluidized"
