Can Biopellets Co-exist With an Oxydator?

[chaoticreefer]

Hi,
I am still in the middle of my research on biopellets, I haven't decided to pull the trigger yet. I have a question that I can't find an answer to (not even with googling). I run an Oxydator and dosed peroxide manually before receiving the Oxydator. I really like the effects of peroxide in my tank. So...my question is, are the biopellets compatible with the Oxydator (peroxide)? Will the peroxide keep killing the biopellets' bacteria to the point of never being able to take off?

Like I have said, I am still doing my research, I haven't decided either way whether or not to try biopellets, so I am willing to listen to any opinions on biopellets in general.

I started reefing back in 1999 and took a break in 2007. I got back in last year. So...biopellets are new to me and I do need a better nitrates and phosphates export channel then what I have now. Thanks in advance for any info that is provided.

We have found no impact on tank bacteria in our peroxide studies and I can't see how an impact would come from the pellets and associated bacteria either

It goes like this on the web:

The label on a peroxide bottle says its anti microbial, ergo putting it in your tank kills bacteria so it was claimed for years that any peroxide added kills bacteria.

A bottle of antibiotic human meds are also antibacterial, but what if you just take one from a ten day course and throw out the rest? Is a single pill antibacterial for your infection? After all, its an anti microbial compound?

Conditions are required for things to kill bacteria, and certain dilutions apply and protections are at play within a tank, not a test tube, that make peroxide have no impact on tank bacteria

This is a good opportunity to test the claim, anyone with bio pellets can simply try it and see if their nitrate or po4 increases

Neither the trace doses from an oxydator nor a shot of raw peroxide into a reef will kill the bacteria
