Keith, Your reactor is waiting for you at the shop, the pellets are sitting in my office in Langley. You are welcome to swing in here to get your pellets then meet Paul at the store to get your reactor.... I would pick up our reactor Mod well you are at it. |

Ian, I am off work tommorow, would that work better?
No hurry really. Keith. |
Just was watching the fish after dinner here, watching the ember blenny scoot around and I realized .. I forgot to list him. So it's actually 15 fish in there. (List updated...)

I think this would work really well except for not with a stream powerhead like that since what will happen is the pellets will just get sucked up to the intake slots. So what I'd do is basically a miniature closed loop. Use a powerhead or small pump (like a Seltz or similar), and use tubing or piping so that the intake is near the surface where the pellets wont be and then exhaust that water at the bottom where you have the powerhead in the drawing now. Or better yet, just have the pump in the sump or whatever, and that is both your feed pump AND pellet tumbler. |
Has anyone modified their Zeovite reactor to accomodate the pellets? I keep getting an inch or so of stuck pellets at the top while the rest is tumbling somewhat.

I was thinking about that too. Probably a slam dunk since they tend to come with a pump. So long as it's strong enough to tumble them in the reactor..

Today I went to see Danny @ Wai's to buy another Deltec 509 Fluidizer. Currently I am running 1.5L of BioPellets in that type of reactor with a MJ1200. I don't use any foam, and therefore they tumble nicely with no clogging. So now am running the second Deltec the same way with another 1L of Pellets. I know the Deltec's are more, but I can tell you that they run much better than the cheapies, and I don't have the clogging issues as most of you do, as I don't need to run any foam inside them. No more Zeolites. I have some new in the bag if anybody needs some. All I can say is that I love these NP BioPellets. |
What can you do about the pellets rising to the top of the reactor. Currently have about 1/5 of my pellets clumped together at the top. Rest are on the bottom tumbling.
MJ 1200 TLF reactor 250ml pellets no foam michaels plastic mesh (stuff mentioned earlier in thread) Thanks, TW |
Tyler,
Some of the pellets seem to be more buoyant at first and in short order fall back down. |
