I'm assuming that you are talking of the mamaroo phytoplankton kit.

I wouldn't fill it to the brim.
Leave a few inches for the bubbles to pop against other wise it will leak unless you fully tape the lid on to it. If you do that, you will end up with a sludge that forms behind the tape and has to be cleaned everytime you open it up.

read up on the amount of f2 required. It's not a lot.
