Biopellet

[hyla84]

Hi all!
I have transferred my tank,
Phosphate and nitrates are high since the thank as cycled.
I am planning to do fill a phitoplancton reactor with some chaeto and do a sort of refugium to help my tank and grow pods.
I am planning to put some rowaphos and some biopellet as well (any suggestion about the brand would be appreciated)
Sounds good to you?
Thanks in advance

I have tried many brands of bio pellets and they all work the same. I am now back to my original choice which is two little fishies.

Just keep in mind that bio pellets need a dedicated reactor. In my experience the reactor is far far more important than the pellets. I like the churning style reactors like the Reef Octopus BioChurn reactors and the Lifegard Turbo reactors.

I was thinking to use the rowaphos reactor

I believe you will be disappointed. With BioPellets it is best to use a dedicated reactor designed for that purpose. Whenever I have used a general use media reactor with pellets I have had clogging issues and I have needed an oversized pump to compensate.

You also can only use rowa or biopellets at once since they require different flow rates. I would just use the reactor for rowa.
