bio pellets

Heyy guys and gals, did any one ever try soaking their bio pelletes in some sort of bacteria fluid ( microlift special blent for example) for a couple of hours before placing them in the reactor? I ve read somewhere that it can been done however i dont know if its indeed beneficial or can cause...

I recently purchased an eel fro my 345L system and I want to prevent the spike of nitrate and phosphate due to the eel's food from creating an algae issue. My tank (which I bought second hand) had a Reef Octopus Biopellet reactor which I didn't use when setting up my tank, should I run it as a...

I was wondering if anyone has used bio pellets in a reactor in the chamber after their skimmer. I have an AIO tank (DIY) and have a spare chamber that I am looking at putting a biopellet reactor in. However, this chamber is after my skimmer and before my return pump chamber. I have read a few...

hey all, I’ve been looking into adding a bio pellet reactor to my 90 gallon tank. I feel it’s necessary at this point. My main concern is my inability to run the reactor outlet into my skimmer intake. I have a hang in back skimmer that has been working extremely well for a while and I don’t...

I recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 350. I have been looking at different pluming styles and finally narrow it down to one. So for this setup I need 3 reactors, the two that I am looking at are BRS Dual Reactors or the AquaMaxx Reactors. This brings me to my question, "are GFO and Carbon Media...

I have had some success with nopox but I'm starting to feel that I do not have the same control over nitrates that I may have with a bio-pellet reactor or even an algae scrubber or even a zeolite reactor. Also, time is a limiting factor and I do worry about putting nopox on a doser ---- I...

What is the best way to rid phosphate? I do have a reactor. What do you use?

So, I haven't posted my build because life happens. I managed to acquire my cube from a fellow reefer when I was in FL. Traded 6 zoa frags for it. I feel like I came out on top. It took a few months to build then stock. I got the rock while I was in FL as well. I've always wanted a cube because...

I'm currently running a marineland 360 canister filter and I've been thinking about changing the filter media. I'm using what came with the filter; from bottom to top: coarse foam, carbon, bioballs, ceramic rings w/ polishing filter pad on top. I've been doing a lot of research on canister...

I want to turn my bio-pellet reactor off for several reasons, but if things don't work out I'll want to turn it back on; I've already learned, from experience, that you can't just turn the reactor off for a week and turn it back on. My questions is, is there some method for storing the used...

Hey guys and gals, I was using phosban in my phosban reactor got my nitrates under control along with better "husbandry". I was talking to my LFS and he mentioned biopellets. I tinkered and tinkered with my reactor and finally got it to get the beads to tumble. Here is what I did and I...

I have removed my rowaphos reactor and started running bio pellets, .my question is if My phosphates are at .10 and nitrates are zero would I still need to do the half recommended amount of bio pellets, and move up to full in few weeks?would I have negative effect removing rowaphos, even though...

I'm looking into starting up a reactor with bio pellets for the first time and I would like to know if anybody is still running a phosphate removal media with the use of bio pellets. My phosphates are at around .07 running rowaphos. Would I be starving the bacteria in the bio pellets if I would...
