feed media reactor from overflow

Is it possible to feed a bio pellet media reactor from the main siphon overflow drain in a bean setup?

Possible.. Yes... Advisable NO.. In general the fact that media reactors are always getting clogged by its own bacterial secretions and their flowrate is changing I would not put one directly on the drain system..
Also its going to be clogged by stuff passing through the drain (food/detritus,etc....)

Totally fine though to feed it off the return pump...
