Sump setup running both biopellets and ozone

I have a very large commercial sump and right now ozone is dosed through an Octo reactor in the first chamber which is shared by my 9000ext Octo skimmer. This chamber also contains all the drain lines for the 2000g system.

I am curious how the Biochurn I just ordered should be set up. I can move the ozone if needed. I am getting conflicting information on running the biopellet effluent into the skimmer or return chamber and I'm also concerned if running the pellets to close to the ozone will have any effect on performance. Please provide some insight?

I would definitely run the effluent from the biopellet reactor in front of the skimmers feed pump or even splice it into the skimmers feed. The output of the ozone reactor should not have much of an effect but if possible it would not hurt to have the reactor drain away from the skimmers intake.

That's what I was thinking. Any reason why I should not dose ozone effluent into my pump return chamber?

I do not see any issues and probably the best location to do so.
