Update on the pellets
I have a 90 gallon reef with a 40 gallon sump/fuge and a MSX200 skimmer. I upgraded my lights from 150watt MH to 250’s around April and use a mag 9.5 for return and a VorTech MP40 for flow. I only have about 60-70lbs of live rock and maybe 5lbs of sand and crush coral in my display. My fuge has a large ball of cheato and a 4”deep sugar size sand bed. My current bio load consists of 11 fish (clowns, cardinals ect) I have been running the pellets for 2 months now and have had a little outbreak of GHA, film algae and Gelidium. I recently added a clean up crew to help with some of the algae, however, my parameters are good. My phosphates are .03 and my nitrates we 1. My skimmer production is solid and consistent like never before, but my cheato continues to grow and hasn’t been reduced since the addition of the pellets. Once my GHA outbreak is finished I will pick up feeding to see how things respond.
