thx for reply.
Yes shaking every day. Both sponges were thoroughly cleaned on Dec 30, now obviously some debris but
still enough flow for pellets to tumble.
No white gunk/mulm at all.
Also i wanted to mention to you that in one of your posts you say that pellets covering the zeolites with bio film ,
"what if" hypothetically it is the other way around ... that it is zeolites covering the pellets?
Because in my case i have no zeolites and i see no white mulm/gunk...
At this point i am seriously questioning the pellets ability to reduce P or N, perhaps in case when they are combined with zeolites they provide food for bacteria that already exists on the surface of the zeorocks. But that alone would not justified the cost, there are a lot of bacteria food around and its not what we want from it.
Oh well, another "miracle" will see how it goes.
One thing i know that i will not be buying another bag of it any time soon.
