I'd put it on both sides of both disks to ensure none of the pellets escape. Use a hot glue gun to secure it to the disks. Run all the flow you want until the cows come home. Bob's you're uncle.

I have this mesh in my TLF reactor running Biopellets (on one side only hence the recommendation to put it on both if you're intending to nearly fill the reactor) and it's heavily fluidizing the pellets and they all stay in the reactor.

Picture of previously mentioned mesh (Mine's black. I got it from Michael's. It also comes in white) :

Exclamation

Update! AGAIN.

We are still waiting for our large order of Biopellets to arrive, it seems the manufacturer is having difficulties keeping up with demand on these Pellets. We should see our order late this week and will ship out all orders at once.

If you have ordered Pellets from us we appreciate your patience!

O.C.

We are now stocking the MOD material for the reactors and it is available on our website for those that don't have access to it. We are also offering a MOD service to all our reactors and installing the mesh for use with the Biopellets, this is an option that is selectable on the reactor listings..

O.C.
