Whats an extra $20 per bucket.. vrs algee..Now that you mention it, the issue did become exacerbated when I switched from Reef Crystals to Seachem. I've used TM Pro Reef in the past and loved the salt but not the price. I may have to go back. . .

Thanks Randy for pointing that out. 
It does get complicated when interpreting the various test kits available.

I am excited to be trying this out! Thanks so making such an informative thread.
I read the bacteria can clog up the sponges in media reactors so I got some plastic canvas today and cut it into shape to use instead of the sponges:
My pellets should be arriving today or tomorrow.
Great idea! That should work nicely as long as the material holds up. The hole size looks ideal from what I can tell.
HEHE, no it's not. I don't need that kind of trouble in my life. Panty hose might work though. It might be too fine to let larger chunks of mulm through. Have you built one DJ?
I'm planning on getting some more pellets and need a bigger reactor, a 2L.
Yes, sorry about that... I should report PO4 instead of P.Cliff:

Where did you get the plastic canvas? I'm using a piece of a mesh bag in the bottom of my Zeo reactor as the holes are large enough for the pellets to slip through. The mesh tends to lift around the edges. . .I need something more rigid.

I just picked up some today to replace the sponges in my TLF reactor.
OK, I just figured you were pulling out all the stops with the DIY thing. When I get started on a project I turn the house inside out looking for possible 'materials for use'. My work area often looks like a bomb went off b4 cleanup. I haven't built one yet. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to configure it in my sump. Yea, 2L was what I was planning on using, too. I don't have much space with my moded Aqua C in there.

been using bps since jan, i've also been trying vingear dosing, one thing i can say about the biopellets is that it defeated cyano for me, noticed it instantly within 2 weeks, for that its worth the price on my small tank of 80 gallons but if i had a larger tank donnt know if i would justify the cost as its pretty expensive, i'm running 500 mls, other then the cyano i have not noticed anything else but i run a pretty clean tank heres a pic before bio pellets last month sorry for the bad picture but t5s really wash out the colors on my camera,ill post an after pic tomorrow when i take a pic
ran to walmart to buy some, an my store stopped carrying it..

Hobby lobby, Michaels, or most crafts stores should have something like that.
