Hello all
So it been 11 months of my new tank and have been running biopellets from the get-go.
Aiming for a Low Maintenance System but I’m fighting this ? issues that I’m finding are common, algae, cyano, and diatoms on and off.
I’m finding zeovit has similar property’s but the media stone removes ammonia also that houses the bacteria also.
My main question is can biopellets leach any silicates being there a polyester media I wonder that. Fighting algae and all, so as the beads breakdown faster but in hand with fueling more algae. To effective with no3 and po4 is slipping by binding with the algae? My po4 is .00 on Hanna but yet it grows..
I just 4 days ago added some phosguard and it’s turned pale green and dying off now and fish are grazing on it.
For what I am trying to accomplish, can a zeovit reactor give the results needed similar? The with no risk of silicates
