Bio-Pellets

Can I mix different brands of Bio Pellets?

i wouldn't its not worth risking a tank crash. i would just buy the same bring pellets all the time. i really like the Bulk Reef Supply pellets.

I suspect they're all about the same, so likely it's safe enough. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see any reason to go out of my way to get multiple brands, though.

I think it would be fine to do and cannot imagine any problem it could lead to, but I also think there is probably no advantage, just as I do not think there is an advantage to multiple soluble carbon sources over a single source.

I have been running a mix of two different brands for around 6-8 weeks now with no issues. I topped off with brand #2 because they were on sale. I see no difference in them except for maybe shape and color.

I have used several different brands mixed together for quite some time and have not noticed any difference in performance. Save some money.

Hi, I am using BRS and need to get some more soon and will reorder those unless I need to make my next order with someone else. Basically I see no reason to stay with one brand.

I have no problem using 2 different brands with my tank.

The reason I ask is I can get a different brand from
someone that is not using them. They are not used.

I have them mixed in several tanks. No issue. Do what's cheapest. I have seen that the TLF pellets degrade much faster than the NPX. based on that the NPX is a better deal because they have to be replaced less
