bio pellets and marine plants

[jhoff]

I just filled my 34 gal with some marine plants from gulf coast eco systems will be soon getting a pair of seahorses.And was wondering if running bio pellets would cause any problems with the macro.Also is it ok to run the reactor after the skimmer.

I would wait to see if the macro is enough to export your excess N's and P's, before considering a BP reactor. If you go with a reactor, the effluent needs to be in or near the intake of your skimmer.

If plants are anything like algae (and they do photosynthesize like algae), then strong pellets will slow their growth.
