    Would it be possible to link to or provide videos of what is considered to be the "proper flow" rate for the NP-Active pearls? I have them in a reactor connected to my 40 gallon tank and I can't tell if they are moving too fast, or not fast enough. I keep changing my mind on what is should be and tinkering with the valve, and figured I would ask . . . . any visuals to help me determine what is fast enough?

    Thanks,
    TW

    Just want them tumbling enough so they don't stick together. Go to YouTube and type in biopellets tumbling and you will find multiple videos. Be sure to put the discharge close to the skimmer inlet.
