I think the safest thing I can say pellets work but use at your desrcetion since there is no directions it's all on you..... Agree????
Yes, I don't think pellets should be discounted as many do have great success with them. One needs to watch their tank VERY closely and see how it reacts and make adjustments as running pellets is not a "one size fits all" sort of product and as you said, there are not really "clear" directions to follow. One should also not take the easy route and completely try replicate what others do on their systems as everyones tanks are different and we don't know what they are also doing that they don't post on the forums about.
this is what i did since there was no guide lines to follow... my tank 200gal is suppose to run 1000ml of pellets.... week 1 i added 50ml i didn't exp any blooms etc. week2 i added a additional 50ml week 3 i added another 100ml put's me at 200ml i exp tissue necrosis so i left it there and didn't go any higher.... after a month or so i lost a piece here and there nothing out of the norm i would say you can't keep them all happy... then another 2 months roll by and wala im losing a piece a day... maybe the pellets just built up and by me not doing water changes it caused the problem...this could be the case and i guess we will never know since i dont plan putting them back on nor changing my water ahahahahahahahah... i guess this is a poor example because i don't follow the rules of reef keeping and changing water but i know for sure im not the only one and won't be the last!!!!!!
