I wonder if some are made different because mine was really tight. I mean once I shoved it in there I needed pliers to get it out, I kid you not!

Oh!! Not a chance for some of the ones I have put together including mine! You could tilt the Reactor and the fitting would fall to the floor....

Guys,
Once bio pellets are being run is there a need to still run my carbon and phos in my TLF cannisters?

Its always good to have carbon running as the bio pellets and carbon remove different things. As for phosphate removers, its not necessary to run them, and i would actually recommend stopping the phos remover as it limits the PO4 levels that the pellets need in order to work properly.
