Well, Alberta_reef came over my place with his cut out mesh and installed them into my TLF, it has been tumbled nicely for last two days now. Thanks Cory

So far i have not heard anything negative about these pellets. They seem to do what they claim to do and that is reduce nitrates and phosphates. So my question is, why would you run zeo rocks or macro algae or mangroves or VSV knowing that these pellets exist and are so easy to use? Just curious :-)

Tai No prob. Glade I could help. My pellets have been tumbling for over 10 day with no problems after I have done the mesh. At that time I cleaned my skimmer cup. Tonight I cleaned the top mesh of the TLF reactor. Just cleaned it in the sump. There is going to be some maintenance with the top mesh. I cleaned the skimmer cup as well. It was only half full but big difference in the skim.

Tai when I had the cover of my TLF there is a rubber o ring you are missing on yours. Once you install the o ring. You have no more problems with leaks.

I will post some test results later.
