I guess I have no choice but to manually stir them once in a while then. I can't afford to change my reactor for another ... NO MONEY for now, I have to save for the Boxing day sale coming in 4 months to get the nice tunze wavemaker. Thanks for your input, Kien.

Can you show a picture of how full the reactor is? Maybe it's as simple as reducing the volume o pellets that you have in the reactor. This will allow you to push more flow through it. I found that with the TLF 150s it was very easy to overload it with pellets.

I have no camera but I can tell you what I did. With that reactor I put 1000ml bio pellets from Vertex for my 75 gallon tank. They were doing fine untill the last few days I had noticed they had all become clumpy like cake and the mulm started peeling off a lot. I didn't know what was it and scared that it would kill my tank.

Personally I think 1000mL is way too much for that reactor to handle. I struggled with running 500mL when I tried using the TLF150. Somewhere from 250 to 400mL I think is more reasonable for that reactor.

You may be putting the right amount for your tank but that doesn't mean that little reactor can handle that capacity :-(

Also, are you using the foam pads still or did you replace them with something else?
