Well, I had a Epic Bio pellet disaster! I did not put any foam on the outlet side of my Phos reactor, so the water flow was low. Abut MJ600 level maybe? I went to work for 2 weeks. Reena doesn;t like touching things in the sump, so no big deal, right.. Well, I come home to the Pellets congealed in a Lump. Clear jelly stuff clogging the outlet tube, and the pellets were BLACK in spots. No flow. they had congealed so much that they blocked pretty much all flow.

Toot to sink to drain. And HOLLY CRAP what a stink!!!!! Was rude beyond rude. 10 min under faucet in a colander, they are looking white again. I cannibalized my other reactors's foam for now, and cranked up the flow. They are tumbling well now. I have a pic on my cell phone, but need to find my memory stick to upload it.

Thought I'd share what happens if you don't have enough flow. Bad stuff ewwww
