Default Pellet Flow?

Hi Guys,

Very different flow rates from lastnight's video and deputy1234's video.

I heard that if there's too much flow, the bacteria will just get blown out. Too little flow and the mulm will cause clumping.

Can someone at OC please advise which flow rate is optimal?

Should all the pellets in the reactor tumble? Or do you just need to visually see the pellets come up one side, and down the other side, so that they are constantly cycling around the reactor?

Thanks!
Gary
