    the slower the better,I broke her total amount to three equal parts being added every two weeks.If you have sps and go to fast it will shock them very hard.This is one of those things that patience pay's off.If you see a drop in Ph as slapshot suggested in a another thread don't get to worried it comes back up fairly quick.I noticed a 0.1 drop for two day's then it returned to it's normal level of 8.3.Hope this helps

    thanks binford but it wasn't the total amount that i was confused on i was debating how much to start with and ended up going with 7oz. i wanted you to be aware though that even though the kit comes with 500ml of pellets the reactor is only designed to handle 350ml at a time. the extra 150ml is replenishment.
    i've noticed the same clumping problem though. i'm using a mag 3 also and i noticed when i open the valve all the way for just a burst then close it all the way the air bubbles detatch from the floating pellets and the clumps break apart.

    I do like mine, but they are notorious for bunching together. If you soak them over nite you might get better results.

    yup I'm going,haven't really thoght about how cheap tho, thinking more about trying my new shotgun out on it and mailing it back to BRS since they don't take returns. WTH is that about.
