Vertex Bio pellets

[scott711]

Does anyone use them? How do they compare to other Bio Pellets out there?

I think the majority here on R2R are using the Warner Ecobak pellets.....Warner is or was a sponsor here.......No experience with vertex though.

I Think all of them work the same.

yes they do all work the same but there are differances in the compisition of the Ecobak.....It is a differant polymer then the others, which seems to beable to remove and reduce Phosphates more then the others.....Vertex just came out so there might not be many users.

I just added some to my brs reactor. Its made in the usa also the pellets are small making them easy to tumble. Just start with small amount.

Is this from experience or cited somewhere?

I think it is mentioned in the Ecobak thread here also from Jon Warner owner of the company.....

I can't or won't say if any are better then others I went with a long time sponsor of R2R. The Vertex pellets can or could do exactly what they are supposed to do. Plus you wouldn't have to spend on shipping......

Been out of the swing of things, are these Bio Pellets a substitute for GFO ??

Do the pellets work better than GFO at reducing Phosphates ???

I guess I should do some more reading on how these pellets work.....
