Bio-pellets in sump

[Piranha76]

Hi All,

My bio reactor opened up when cleaning my polishing chamber and about 1/4 of my bio pellets spilled out. They are now laying on the bottom of the sump. Do you think it I leave them nothing bad would happen?

Unlikely any problem but they are designed to be tumbled to be effective so, they just won't be effective bio media there.

I am not expecting them to help filter, I just don't want them screwing up the skimmer or pumps. Right now they just are sitting on the bottom of the sump. Taking them out would be like a 3 hour job.
