Thought I'd put my phosphate reactoir back online just to run in the background, and I noticed the pot of Salifert phosphate killer says not to fluidise it. Sure I've done so in the past and I'm sure others do or am i wrong?

I've always fluidised mine even though it says you can't.

I have always put ours into a reactor,but i fluidized it very lightly with slow flow,remember to change it out as instructed on the pot,even if test readings say its still good,it will often end up breaking down to a very fine media and make its way into the tank instead of staying in the reactor lol.
