Is there any reason you prefer biopellets over something like vinegar or vodka?

I’ve actually taken my biopellets offline a couple months ago after 7 years of use. I’m going back to my roots... chaeto.
I preferred biopellets because they were low maintenance, all the interaction happened within a confined reactor, and the output could be plumbed to my skimmer. Once set, I could walk away for 6 months and just refill it.

Stumbled upon this while looking for some Flaming Phoenix. Was looking to get a nice montipora collection since I am making the switch to primarily SPS but I gotta say Love your tank!!! I am planing on upgrading from a 90 gallon to 150 within a few months. Definitely looking to make more reefing friends. Just recently hit my 1 year reefing anniversary.

Congrats! Upgrading tanks is always fun! Thanks for tuning in!
Just for you! A pic of a monti.
This is a beautiful tank sir.
May I ask about your current lighting setup? I saw way back I think T5 plus MH, but toying with LED so just curious.
I run 8 X 80 T5 but my SPS tank is much smaller than yours. (whimper, whimper)

Thank you!
ATI 8-bulb T5 with SBreef actinic bars on the display. Crisp 12k-14k... sand actually is white.
Frag tanks all run aquaticlife hybrid fixtures with Radions and 2b+ and 2actinic bulbs.
Thanks for sharing. Too funny... I run the same on my display, and the same hybrid setup over frag systems (although Hydra LEDs).
And I have very fond teenage memories of Round Rock, TX back in the day.

I live in way north Austin... so basically can throw a rock into RR.
