Hi bros. I also used to have this problem. What I did was drain of whatever liquid/water there is then start run again. It should float like what it is intended to. But once u notice that it clumps up must try to straight away deal with it. Thats my 2 cents worth, hope it helps

JNS is it the same design as the FR45? I think TLF has another bigger model

Will the bigger model have the same problem

Those JNS reactors that have built-in circulation pump don't have the crumble up issue.

FR45 seems to have some "blind spot" above the black colour nozzle where the crumb will start to form and expand.

I tried it but seems it still crumb up in the end. Does increase the power of the water pump help? Thinking to upgrade to 1,700l/hr.

Bro, try to increase the flow. Usually crumbing of biopellet is due to dead spot or low flow as bacteria built up.
