Ok I just recently purchased a mf300b due to high nitrates in my aqarium
It's a 150 gallon tank and I also purchased the recommended boo pellet
Media I was just wondering what is the best way to start this how much media
Should I start with to be safe what is the max media capacity for this unit
And how often should I add media to get to the full capacity? Any general information
To get this unit up and running properly would be greatly appreciated

This reactor would probably not be the best reactor to run bio pellets. It is mainly built for GFO and Carbon.

If you are looking for a biopellet reactor, here are some great suggestions for a tank your size...

I don't mean to be a pain but I already purchased this item and would still like to use
It and have it work properly does the output of the reactor need to be hooked up to the intake
Of the skimmer pump or can it just be in the same compartment as the skimmer?
