Today is 1 week of using BRS bio-pellets.

 

[sweet ride]

been using them since mid last year. picture of my system from last December.

on a side note I been experiencing some clumping of the pellets in the last couple of weeks.

8 or 9 months here. Don't run them in conjunction with GFO, though - caused some STN in my tank.

Does any one use it with ZEOVIT sistem?

 

[jnc914]

I run a Zeo/Bio-pellet hybrid. Essentially I don't use any Zeolith and instead run WM Eco-Bak with all of the Zeo supplements. I have great color and consistent growth with my SPS.

How many are using BRS pellet reactor and pellets vs other brands? And secondly who is using some kind of bacterial/amino supplement in conjunction with pellets (and what is it?)?

I use brs pellets but I switched from the brs reactor to a next reef reactor. The improvement was remarkable. For 8 + weeks the pellets did nothing because every day I had to shack the brs reactor. When I switched it took 1 week and all my algae was gone. I also use brightwell mb7 & amino acids.

I've been running the BRS reactor for 6+ mos now and I'm still having issues with hair algaes in my tank. I know that excess nutrients are still in the tank. The pellets are not removing them. Looks like I might have buy another reactor

I'm currently running a zeo tank without the zeolith media. While it's working fine for now, I'm thinking of implementing BP's and stop the zeostart dosing.

When using a BRS reactor for BP's, do you have to shake it everyday or can you set the pump to tumble the media more aggressively?

What do the bio pellets do? Are you using this instead of gfo?
