Spyglass reactor

ibondy · Dec 9, 2020

Hello, I have a large Spyglass reactor with Sycce 1.5 pump churning bio-pelletes (mix of BRS and NPX) and it seems that pellets are moving very slowly. Will Sicce 2.o fit into reactor. In the hindsight, it does't seem as a good idea of using 2 kinds of pellets. Anyone has a similar experience and any guiadance?

Mixing those two could be the problem. It could also just be that when the biopellets are new, they slime up a little at first and want to stick together. For biopellets you want to make sure that you use the black plastic screens (top and bottom) not the stainless ones. Sicce 1.5 is enough. If your pellets are at least 3 weeks old, you have in the black screens and are still seeing an issue, shoot us an email and we will send you some fresh biopellets to use.

yes, pellets are in for about 8 weeks. They were doing OK, but now NPX are bunched in the lower part of reactor moving vigorously, and BRS pellets on the top are barely moving.
