Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets
 

Do I need to soak pellets overnight in RO water before use?

yes 24 hrs is recommended

Why?

First time I tried pellets I didn't soak them and the clumped up with in a week & a good portion of them would float instead of sink. When you first put the in RO water you will notice some float after the soaking they will all sink.

Thank You

I give my pellets a quick rinse to clean any dust or impurities.

I have never had a problem. If you are concern just give them a faster tumble for a couple days.

There are so many people having issues with pellets by improperly following the manufactures guide on proper use. If you google search for a guide for use it states to soak overnight.

Reefme, follow manufacture's guide to use to the letter for optimum results.

soaked it yesterday. today put it in a reactor and its not tumble. either all float to the top or sit on the bottom. Help please.

What size pump are you using?

TLF reactor with mj1200.
