Hey Guys , i e-mailed my questions to the web site stated on the package and here is his response.
One of the points he makes is that you can Not overdose, however i talked to one of the trusted long term J&L personnel and he told me that when he doubled the pellets he had a bacteria bloom in hie tank. Anywho below is the response to my questions.
Morning !
The exact amount is hard to tell because of the bioload of the tank. You can not overdose the product. The guide line is 50-200ml of pellets per 100L of water
The more water thrugh the pellets, the better.
It is best to use the BioPellets in a fluidized bed filter, so yes it is best that they thumble. They can also being used in a canister filter, but keep the flow through in mind.
The production of mulm is not necessory. It is a benefit if it happens because it will serve as food for small animals.
If the pellets are in a fluidized bed filter, then no need to shake the pellet. If they are in a canister filter, I would say yes.
