I think maxijet 1200 will make the pellets tumble nicely in TLF150. That was what i used, I upgraded to a bigger reactor and still use maxijet 1200 and still get the same result. Make sure you soak the pellets well.

Thanks man!!

When you say soak the pellets well.......are you talking about new additions?

pulling rancid smelling gooooo out

Anyone has experienced with the decrease in ph level when using pellets.

Since the day i start to use the pellets i notice my ph keep dropping slowly which i never experience before.

Here are my parameters

Mg: 1400
Calc: 400
AlkL:9-10

Nitrate: < 5

I using two part dosing. What can i do to help with my ph?

Thanks

mine sometimes down to 8.0 ph , then i put some kalkwasser bring it up..

I started using the NPx pellets 2 days ago in a Vertex Uf-20 reactor, did anyone notice how long it took for their skimmer to return to being able to produce skimmate?

Right now its just rapid bubble popping at the top no foam head at all.

I had this happen to me http://glassbox-design.com/2010/np-b...lling-skimmer/ I know it says that it only happened across the pond but for some reason I got a bad batch. It tookme along time to figure it out and in that time my N sky rocketed because of lack of skimming. The product still isnt working for me. I dont think that they should affect skimming so keep an eye out.

does your skimmer produce form head without vertex reactor running? The only thing i notice what pellets did to my skimage is color from green to dark brown

I personally didn't have that problem, and my skimmer worked fine. As Coleus stated, my skimmate to went from green to dark brown, probably due to the fact there was no more algae, and now it was just removing the excess nutrients.

My skimmate also went darker & thicker at the same settings.
