I can mail you some Dan, PM me your address and I'll toss a bit in an envelope. What are you running it in, a phosban reactor (just so I know to give you a big enough piece - what I have leftover are just tiny scraps).

OK Tony, Enough already!!!

Because of your results, I have now dug out my Deltec Fluidizer and moved the NP BioPellets into there with a maxi-jet 1200. Then leaving the Zeolites alone in the reactor. I am sure glad I didn't sell that with everything else I got rid of.

All is now setup. I am just kidding, keep it up! Thanks for the testing.

For everyone else who doesn't know, I had the pellets in a carbon bag ontop of the zeolites in the reactor. Since moving them, as per Tony, the zeolites are easy to mix manually and the biopellets are continually mixing in a fluidizer.

I hope I see the results Tony is seeing, I will let everyone know.

Rick

Im running mine for 2 weeks in a TLF reactor at the moment. Until I read this thread today I was only using a MJ400 and had little flow and the pellets were all clumped together with no tumbling at all Just threw on a MJ1200 and now they are rolling like dice! looks cool to boot lol Ill update if I notice and changes with my system. Lately Ive been fighting cyano since I upgraded my lighting system.

The pellets need to churn very aggressively, the more the better.
this is very important for the pellets to work properly.

Perfect! thanks for the info. I am also running my tlf with no foam disc at the top. Is that a good idea?
