Output from skimmer into reactor?

[FraggledRock]

Is it possible to run a gfo or carbon reactor from the output of a skimmer with a 150gph pump?

Sorry, but no. The output of the skimmer isn't pressurized. If it was the water would go into the cup instead of out of the skimmer body which defeats the purpose of the skimmer. Unless the outlet of the skimmer is above the reactor and you can gravity feed the reactor that way, it won't do much.

Makes sense! Thanks!
