I'm not sure where this whole peroxide thing came from??? That was months before any of this including the pellets what ever result they had would have been detrimental back then not 7 months later.... Don't ya think???
I greatly appreciate it man honestly... The rusted metal was something I have not checked and I will I leave my mag cleaner in the tank so it could very well be the problem... Thank you for the suggestions...Good luck, after the help i got from your dino thread, i figure a shot in the dark is all i could do

I hear ya. That's why I added about Troylee and myself running our systems the very similar. Something just doesn't add up to me with the pellets being the cause. The same thing happened a couple years back when vodka dosing came on the scene. Everyone attributed the vodka to every problem they had including tank crashes. Most of the time, it was user error. Unless there is a contamination issue with a certain batch I just don't see it.
no i have always dosed all them chems even before the crash or pellets.... maybe the pellets react with one i don't know i use very little amounts of each but i do use them daily..... same routine sunnyx has got most of my research done in his threads his tank is a proven example...(
Still wondering about this...
Just run some poly filter and see what color it turns. With the pellets off-line you will know in a few weeks if things settle down. Also as being one of the first 2-3 people in the country to use the zeovit method I have seen many things. With z the flow over the stones is very important. I just wonder it some people having problems and some not have anything To do with the flow rate though the pellets? Since no manufacturer lists a proper flow rate it wOuld he hard to really figure this out. Just another shot in the dark.

Yes Troy that's what I was stating above. Granular ferric oxide is just that. I actually feel the best is brs hc gfo.I'll have to find some poly filter I doubt anyone in town carries it our Lfs suck!!!!!
Isn't gfo a rust thou it's solid iron ore or something similar I remember reading about the chineese using nails for gfo in the tanks... I wish we had some pure iron that wasn't contaminated with other metals it would help my pocket book out lol.... Rawaphos is black gold man very expensive but the best on the market...
I for one do not think a little rust will do what's happening. Remember what gfo is people. Most of us use it constantly. Many people grasp at whatever they see out of the norm at times like this. Some see some rust and bam it has to be rust but People have had rusting screw heads on certain pumps for Years without ill effects. Granted over time without water changes could lead to unusual high levels of certain elements. I for one think that water changes need to done atleast monthly. If not for nutrient depletion for the sheer fact of accumulating elements we r unable to test for in a closed system.
Peace
