What the heck is with all of this clogging? I have not experienced any such clogs on either the store system or home system......

the cloggings happens when the pellets stop tumbling for whatever reason.

my tank is still just as cloudy today. In my case both tanks its been the hoses gradually building up gunk, until it impeads the flow enough the pellets dont move enough.

Is it cloudy like "milky" or is it particulate from the mulm? I don't think I've ever had any cloudiness, per se, from the pellets, just blizzard like conditions. Are you running carbon? Can you dose some coral snow maybe to polish up the water? I'm not sure what to think of the continued cloudiness. Unless you can tell it's still the reactor shedding mulm? What reactor and what pump combo are you using? (Sorry just asking these questions so I can get a feel for things .. maybe we can come up with some suggestions?)

The cloudiness is harmless with one exception, dissolved oxygen can plummet if too much bacterial mass exists in suspension or if too much volume of pellets are used with too much flow. This is likely not the case with you but it can happen. The very best setup for these pellets that I have seen is actually the Vertex Reactor for the simple reason that it has 1/2" inlet and outlet size, this all but eliminates hose clogging issues. Anoxic conditions can be prevented by simply aiming the return of the reactor to the inlet of the skimmer, the aeration of the skimmer returns the oxygen levels within the water to normal levels.
