Phosban Reactor Question

This weekend I installed a two little fishies reactor with biopellets to help combat a serious growth of hair algae in my 125. My question is , does it matter where in the sump/fuge the discharge hose expels the water back into?

I think the most important thing is where it draws water in. You don't want it to suck dietrus in and clog it.

Some feel that bio pellets create byproducts of some sort and choose to run the discharge directly to the skimmer pump for this reason.

Interesting, I will keep this in mind.
