+1 I did not encounter any problems starting-up my BP and it might be due to the fact that I run a CO2 scrubber 24/7:smurf:
Thank you very much jptenklooster :thumbsup:
In your opinion is thumbling of bp important for best results? I do have a liter of bp in high flow reactor but no tumbling, there is ,loot of bacteria and mulm inside so this obviously work but for now he dont put my nitrates to zero. I use bp aprox months and a half, do you think it will need more time to remove the nitrates?
here is one of my aquarium with bp, mixed reef with some non photo corals inside, I have beautiful tubastrea inside and she do not wont to open so I dump food all the time trying to get the reaction from her and polyp expansion, that is main reason for so high nitrate concetration right now.
is that detritus on your sandbed?
Hi,
I have used zeo method for about a year and a half in SPS tank. This method worked for me. I leave home for some days quite often, so I was looking for something easier, less time-consuming. When I read about the biopellets I thought that they could be a good choice for me. I gave up zeo. I made use of my Korallenzucht Magnetic ZeoVit Reactor S to keep 1,5 l of biopellets, but I changed a pump. My skimmer KZ Revolution M was on strike for many days, it just only started working. I'm satisfied with the pellets, NO3 and PO4 levels are near zero like at zeo method. However colour of corals is nicer, at least for me. It's deeper, more rich, I like it. Furthermore, I can feed corals more without any negative effects.The pellets seem to do their job best.
Here's a today's shot of my tank working with biopellets:

Beautiful reef. Are you still supplementing with any of the Zeovit additives(Amino, etc.)

beautiful tank krzysztof! is the zeovit reactor working well for you? does the plunger help? i just bought one but i was thinking about sending it back for something different.
Thanks, guys for nice comments.
takayan, sorry I forgot to write that. The biopellets have been for 3
weeks in my tank. Somebody might say that it's too little time to become
convinced of the efficacy of this product, but I know my tank very well and see that only good things happen.
rutz81, yes, I use some of additives KZ that I have still left:
AminoAcid, Kaliumiodid-Fluor, K-balance and Eisen.
joe blo, zeovit reactor works well, but after some changes:
1/ I removed a magnet
2/ I put tee in to provide a better water circulation
3/ I changed an original pump for a pump New-Jet 2300 with regulation of
flow
4/ The plunger was lifted a little and blocked (I don't use it)

cool tank lunar :thumbsup: !
very inspiring colors you have !
Did you decrease the KZ products gradualy or did you stop instantly ?
keep us informed , looks great
greetingzz tntneon
Thanks. I removed zeolites instantly and the same day stopped adding zeo products except those above mentioned. I wanted to see how effective the biopellets themselves would be. Only after a fortnight did I receive my biopellets. 14 days without any additional bacteria or food for them. NO3 and PO4 levels started to rise so I limited feeding. When I got the pellets, they tackled very fast with rising nitrates and phosphates. I do readings quite often and everything is ok.
