I just wanted to share with everyone that I won a $75 gift card for avast marine. They ran a contest where people were to make video reviews of their product. Only myself and one other guy submitted. With the low amount of entries they did something pretty awesome. Instead of backing out or splitting the $75 they awarded us both with a $75 gift card.

Now I just need to decide on what to get. So far I have the ato,skimmer, and swabbie( auto head cleaner). I think it's gonna be between the bio pellet reactor, and the skimmate locker.
 
Cool thanks guys. I don't have the best understanding of bio pellets. I have a rough idea how they work, but do I don't think I need them. Just curious tho why it have a negative affect on sps.

I've haven't even got the digital certificate sent yet they just announced the winners last night. I was excited, and wanted to share

I don't feel I need either. If it wasnt for the gift certificate I wouldn't purchase either as of right now. I would rather spend my money on fish and coral. The reactor would be nice bc it's just a media reactor that has a nozzle to add for bio pellets so I could use for carbon or gfo. The skimmate locker is nice to as it will cup my skimmer off if it gets to high and has carbon ontop to eliminate the smell. I proubly won't make a purchase for at least a week, and just wanted to get some of your thoughts.
 
A reaction occurs with BP and high alkalinity that causes TN in sps...not to mention they seem to be too efficient at stripping nutrients and theirfore starve some of the corals requirements for the trAtes and Phos and reducing their color vibrancy. I ran BP for a year and had unexplainable issues with TN in acros coming from tanks without BP. Minute I took them offline didn't have any unexplainable TN and I got my color vibrancy back
 
I run biopellets with green dragon acro, rainbow poci, montipora, Hawkins and slimers with no issues. Must be something else? It's strange though.

To the op. Have you descided what to get?

I have not made a decision. The gift certificate is good until may of 2015. With my tank being so new I think it's probably best to wait and see what I need as I go rather than making a purchase just because I have the gift certificate on hand. Avast does have a lot of other product I could use, but I don't think there is anything I need as of now.

I wasn't even running a cup of BP on a 100g system and I have a buddy who stu died marine biology who had the same issue. More and more people we know have been taking their SPS dominant tanks with BP offline and have noticed an improvement in overall color. Takes a few weeks for every thing to get adjusted though. It annoys me I was a huge supporter of BP but I had a reactor get plugged and it went anaerobic and had ended up unclogging itself and destroyed the majority of my tank and so I took it offline cleaned everything up and the surviving corals have looked better than ever running just gfo and some carbon
