I have had as much as 1000 ml bio pellets running in it. Never requires cleaning or maintenance. But with zero nitrates for so long now, my bio pellet reduction has drastically slowed, so haven't touched mine now since Nov/2012, and still has about 1/2 cup tumbling in the bottom.

If I can't get this thing modified to work the way I want, that's exactly what I'm going to have to do, though I've no way to T it off my return pump so It would mean buying another pump. I'm trying to spend as little money fixing this as possible first.
