Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets

PROBIOTIC BIODEGRADABLE PELLETS
A milestone in probiotics system implementation, management and maintenance. Consisting of 100% pure PHA bio-degradable polymers, Vertex Pro-Bio pellets provide a pure steady supply of organic carbon fuel source for bacterial growth in aquaria. Both aerobic and anaerobic strains demonstrate increased population and colonization. This can result in improved biological filtration, water clarity as well as providing your system with necessary bacterial plankton to nourish other organisms, filter-feeders and corals.

would there be any benefit to using these in conjunction with the reef-resh system?

when are you planning on getting the Warner product? Are these essentially the same?

 

[Jeremy B.]

jmoney, I don't see much of an issue at all with using any of the pellets out there in conjunction with a probiotic system such as PolypLab, Zeovit, NeoZeo, etc. You would most likely need to make and adjustment of the carbon source dosing within those given systems, but that should be all.

The Warner product has been on order for a few weeks now. The last we heard was the end of June or beginning of July until they're in stock.

The Vertex pellets arrived today, and should be shipping out today and Monday.

From the research I have done on the various pellet products, I can tell you this....

1. They are all non-starch based resins.

2. They are all genetically modified biodegradable resins.

3. There are only two companies I have found world wide that produce an additive that goes into the manufacturing of plastic resins used for manufacturing of plastic products that make the resin itself biodegradable. Both of these companies recommend a .5% - 1% usage of their product into the total batch of plastic mix to make the extruded resins.

The main difference I have personally found in the research of all this is the way each small individual pellet is extruded from the manufacturer.

Thanks,
Jeremy
