Thinking about biopellets

[burtonboy182]

Hi
Current system is 220 gallon SPS tank. (frags) with 64g sump. Tank is about 4 months old. I am thinking about running bio pellets on my system.

SPS are doing fair, feel like the could do doing a lot better with growth and color

Lighting Kessil AP700 x 3. About 4 inch off surface due to canopy is low profile.
Bubble king Supermarin 200 skimmer
Geo 618 reactor
Neptune Wavs x 4 (2 on back corner pointed toward middle of tank and 2 on each side going across
I have very mild cyano in my refugium and a mild dusting on my sand bed. Other then that i don't have signs of any other algae.
I do tend to feed a lot and have a moderate amount of fish

Alk 9 dkh
Cal 420
Mag 1400
USG 1.026
Temp 79F
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Salt is Fritz pro RPM - ill be honest dont change it as much as i would like
Dose acropower here and there

Would biopellets be right for me?

Usually biopellets are used to reduce nitrates and phosphates by adding a carbon source for the growth of bacteria....if your no3 and po4 are already undetectable...adding biopellets could have a negative impact on your reef as your corals need some no3 and po4 to thrive....hope this helps

What test kits are you using for the no3 and p04? If API, then those levels are probably not really zero.
