as m3ace9 said earlier, biopellets should be heavily researched and not used as a quick fix for nitrates. every tank is different so it takes a long time to figure out exactly how much you need for your tank. IMO it should never be added when you have multiple problems with your tank. only when you can identify the changes the biopellets make to your tank.
I use the cadlight reactor as well. i used a paperclip to clear the holes in the plate when it gets clogged. it will mainly get clogged when you have high phosphates i noticed but the paperclip works well.

I just set my aquamaxx reactor right ontop of my skimmer pump. it works like a champ and has not been cleaned in months. I liked the CADLIGHTS reactor but after i got it home i realized all the plumbing was metric. It was all i could do not to throw it on the ground and stomp it into a million pieces. Merica
The reason there is clumping is because of lack of mulm export. Yes pellets needs to tumble buy the extra bacterial bloom that build on the pellets needs to be exported and skimmed out. When this is not happening the buildup eventually hardens and this is why clogging happens. The aquamaxx reactor spins in a circular motion rapidly to endure mulm export but while the entire group of pellets is rotating the pellets are not moving as fast and this prevents the grinding
