    Do the mod! The pellets WILL become heavy! Im running the same setup (with Mag3, but throttled back), flowing very nicely.

    Does the Mag3 have pre-filter sponge on? The inner canister inside of the BRS BP reactor is VERY easy to get clogged! (Thats why I ditched the inner canister.)

    And I dont think your pellets are sticky to each other yet. Mine are running for more than a month, but they still have the plastic-ish touch.

    Thanks for the replies xmetal and jm, I decided to wait it out, will check out what has happened over the last couple days, if they're still clumped, it looks like I'm going to mod the reactor! Love DIY so this is a good excuse lol.

    I haven't done the mod yet, it got put off, a buddy needed a hand this weekend. So the mod will have to wait for next weekend I guess. Thanks for the offer of help, I'll def msg if I run into any hiccups.
