NP bio pellets

[VandyTime]

I am starting a new tank and was wondering when to start the bp reactor? Do you wait until you have no3 and no4?

I started running mine right after the cycle was complete.

i would start them up with a new tank cause it takes like a month to cycle and a month for the bio pellets to work so u will just have a clean tank that never gets much algae.

those bacteria might also keep u from seeing any real ammonia/nitrite spikes it couldnt hurt.

The best time to start is BEFORE you have a NO3, PO4 problem. Often people who complain about biopellets is because they added them to a tank with NO3 and PO4 existing and they stripped the tank of these nutrients too fast.
