I know a bunch of you have been asking me about these.  Here are the details:

We've tried to make it as simple and modular as possible, so you don't have to buy anything you don't already have.  Optional pump & biopellet nozzle.  Also a good combo price for the kit + pump + biopellets.

 

Here's a quick video of it showing the variable throughput/effluent rate

Really cool.  I pictured a whole new lid. 

 

It almost seems like you could just design a new bubble chamber for the CS1 and fill it with biopellets and do the whole thing internal to the skimmer if you could keep them out of the collection cup and out of the gate valve output. 8)

It actually is a new lid.  It's rectangular with two holes to act as a bracket to support the soft tubing.

 

I've thought about doing exactly that on a skimmer.  I think the problem is that the pellets will go everywhere as they get smaller, and they will definitely affect bubble size if they are in the bubble chamber.
