I think you will use the sponge if u are running rowaphos for the reactor. Probably you added too much bio pellets? happened to me once...

Mine's New tank and AM setup, they put in 100% of what the pellets package stated

Is there anyway to dismantle the bottom part to clean?

[Angel Keeper]

No.

Anyway had removed sponges and half pellets but white sticky stuff cloaking flow...today washed top attachment, put back top sponge and see how it goes..

I run my RR153 without sponges with 2 litres of biopellets (not AIO)... Every week, I flush the system by shutting down the system, then take out the top plate to wash... This is due to the deposits (white sticky film) forming above the top plate... The outflow tube might also get choked... So I blow the tube to get the deposits out...

I also realise that when the tubing gets choked, the outflow stream reduced dramatically... But once I blow out the deposits, it works brand new...

Although a bit demanding at times, but I'll have to say that it serves its purpose well... It's linked to my FOWLR, so I only bother about nitrates... And nitrates are really undetectable...

Thxs for feedback Angel..yeah think just have to bear time to flush..also again took out the sponge as it do more cloaking

Resolved output cloaked...just use a 12ml Springe at output tube and push air back to the reactor

When you are experiencing difficulty in removing the pump due to new O-ring, you may need a long nose plier or something that can help turn and release the pump
