Np pellet reactor problems

Posted: October 19th, 2011, 10:13pm CDT by raytone

I got a reef octopus reactor. The pellets keep on clogging the top mesh. I have to clean it every day. This is bad because the bacteria dies and the have to start again. Now i open the inlet pipe a little so that some pressure can be released there but now the water is splashing everywere. What can i do to fix this problem?:( The reactor is running for about two months now.

Bio pellet reactor

Posted: October 3rd, 2011, 6:46pm CDT by raytone

I need info on the bio pellet reactor. Is the reactor sufficient enough for the tank or do you need a deep sand bed. Someone told me that the reactor is very dangerous to the system and will give a lot of problems. I am worried because, i've got the reactor only. Please help me on this one!:1:
