Actually I did that last night, removed the zeolites and put another litre of pellets in it. It doesn't work that well, I have the vertex reactor and found that even though they tumbled, over time they bunched up and stopped.

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.
