Let's hear from Biopellet user's?

I've been running ATB pellets in Avast Marine reactor for nearly 8 weeks now. Also running GFO. My phosphates have been at zero for quite some time without changing gfo during this time, but my nitrates haven't budged below about 25 (Elos test kit). I'm hoping it's going to kick in any day now, but loosing confidence. 90G with 500 ml. Tank looks fantastic though, so definitely no ill effects; just hoping the nitrates start dropping

from what i understand you need to have p04 in the tank to get rid of the nitrates, they work together

I used vertex pellets in a modded TLF reactor on my old 75g. Eliminated all phosphate and nitrates. Had the 2 worst cyano outbreaks ever.

I had my tlf and nix bp running for awhile, but had to take it offline. My corals started to bleach on me. Now the corals color are slowly coming back.

I started with one cup full by the 3 or 4 cup of bp, that's when my corals started to bleach. So, now I am just running gfo and gac. Will try bp again later if the tank acts up with algae again.

Think im just going to stick to gfo and gac. Look's like bio pellets are just to new! Until people get it down on how much to use in what size tank and so on there are to may people having problems and not just here.

I run 2 litres of NP and ATB pellets in a SWC UR120 reactor with the cone bottom. This reactor is a steal at $149 and a much better value then the large Reef Octopus reactor IMHO. The UR120 is built like a tank and on my 2 litres of pellets is easily fluidized by a little old MJ600.

In any case, I have had good results with biopellets.
