Do I need to soak pellets overnight in RO water before use?

Why?

First time I tried pellets I didn't soak them and the clumped up with in a week & a good portion of them would float instead of sink. When you first put the in RO water you will notice some float after the soaking they will all sink.

I give my pellets a quick rinse to clean any dust or impurities.

I have never had a problem. If you are concern just give them a faster tumble for a couple days.

There are so many people having issues with pellets by improperly following the manufactures guide on proper use. If you google search for a guide for use it states to soak overnight.

Reefme, follow manufacture's guide to use to the letter for optimum results.
