they are tumbling but barely i have it in a dual reactor with carbon in the second reactor and the carbon is only bubbling....ill wait it out ill make a batch of water to do a change on it

 

Vertex Pro Bio Pellets - Reef Central Online Community Read through this thread, some really good information available on the pellets.

 

I probably wouldn't do to large of a water change if your going to do one. Unless you start seeing livestock suffer. The bacteria bloom is a sign that the pellets are starting to do their job. Without bacteria they don't work. A lot of people have to wait a few weeks to months and even add bacteria to the chamber to get anything to start growing. It sounds to me like its a good thing and means they are starting to do their job.

Also they need to be tumbling pretty good just not blowing all over the chamber. They are known to clump up over time and then aren't as affective so a decent amount of flow is needed. I believe they give you the gph calculation on the bag?

 

thanks foe the link it was a good read and slightly reassuring lol
