). Each week or so it looks like more companies are joining the ranks of offering pellets for the concept of "solid vodka dosing" but Gresh made a great point. I wonder what the actual ratio of companies designing a product for our intended use is versus companies relabeling products to just jump on the bandwagon. 
also have not had anything to drink either. To my understanding the concern is when there is a severe bloom and the aerobic heterotrophs consume too much oxygen in the aquarium.
Hello Carlo,
What brand of pellets are you using?
How much pellets are you using?
What size tank are they on?
How long have they been set up for?
How are they set up?
1. Type of reactor are they in?
2. How many gallons or liters per hour are going through the reactor?
3. Is the return line coming off of the reactor feeding into the protein skimmer intake or into a different location.
4. How do the pellets visually look in the reactor? Do they look like they are boiling or sticking together?
I am not a biologist nor play one on the forums

) can this be to muts ?Also, if pellets remove NO3 and PO4 fast enough, your corals may react to fast water quality change. Just a thought
I don't remember packaging ever being sold in gram weight. That being said, using 75ml of pellets is a good starting point for that size aquarium. I would turn back the flow going into the reactor and have the pellets turn over slower. Nice, slow, tumble. When you noticed the bloom, how high were your nitrates initially? As the bloom has been clearing, what are your nitrates testing at now? Is there a difference since the initial setup? Each time you plan on increasing pellets, test your nitrates and phosphates. Also, try and not to do a water change prior to testing You want to see how well the pellets are working by themselves before you continue to fine tune the setup.
