Biopellets

[Red Sea reefer]

Hello every one so I run a biopellets reactor for three weeks now and it's look like its start working , so my question is in 6 - 10 months those media will be consumed by the buctira and I have to add more to replace that small amount
So for now I run the all in one biopellets so in the future can I add now ones
Like doctor tims biopellets so both of them will be in the same reactor tell
All the all in one biopellets get consumed cause I wanna switch to dr tims biopellets in the future

Any answer ??

 

[Mr tap water]

I would say yes ,as the old ones gradually go down just start replacing them gradually with the new type..

 

[Red Sea reefer]

So you think there won't be any issue mixing two different type of biopellets

 

[Mr tap water]

Not if you're gradually replacing them, I can't see a problem only if they differ in shape they may not tumble together smoothly ,and then I will just keep an eye on your NO3 readings

Mixing them shouldn't be a problem, granted I always suggest sticking with the same brand if possible. I would also consider dosing bacteria like Brightwell's just to help keep your bacteria population under control and lessen the possibility of having a breakout. If you look up SunnyX's tank, that was what he did for his, only difference is he carbon dosed through vodka not biopellets.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what "biopellets" are... KISS...

No. Each pellet has a different hardness and when the harder ones are tumbling with the softer ones, the softer ones get pulverized by the harder ones causing them to break down faster.

Thanks for the info , am already using MB7
One question that in my mind if I wanna help get the biopellets work faster
Is dosing carbon will help with that since dosing carbon is helping growing
The same Bactria or it's something else ???

Kind of sounds like CC becoming sand IMO...
