bio pellets

I am putting up for your consideration my Sicce Media Reactor. I believe I had used this very briefly when I first started out. Used bio-pellets in it. I had this plumbed straight to my manifold. You could also use a separate pump. Best to use with some sort of valve to help control flow...

Heyy guys and gals, did any one ever try soaking their bio pelletes in some sort of bacteria fluid ( microlift special blent for example) for a couple of hours before placing them in the reactor? I ve read somewhere that it can been done however i dont know if its indeed beneficial or can cause...

I recently purchased an eel fro my 345L system and I want to prevent the spike of nitrate and phosphate due to the eel's food from creating an algae issue. My tank (which I bought second hand) had a Reef Octopus Biopellet reactor which I didn't use when setting up my tank, should I run it as a...

I was wondering if anyone has used bio pellets in a reactor in the chamber after their skimmer. I have an AIO tank (DIY) and have a spare chamber that I am looking at putting a biopellet reactor in. However, this chamber is after my skimmer and before my return pump chamber. I have read a few...

hey all, I’ve been looking into adding a bio pellet reactor to my 90 gallon tank. I feel it’s necessary at this point. My main concern is my inability to run the reactor outlet into my skimmer intake. I have a hang in back skimmer that has been working extremely well for a while and I don’t...

I recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 350. I have been looking at different pluming styles and finally narrow it down to one. So for this setup I need 3 reactors, the two that I am looking at are BRS Dual Reactors or the AquaMaxx Reactors. This brings me to my question, "are GFO and Carbon Media...

I have had some success with nopox but I'm starting to feel that I do not have the same control over nitrates that I may have with a bio-pellet reactor or even an algae scrubber or even a zeolite reactor. Also, time is a limiting factor and I do worry about putting nopox on a doser ---- I...

What is the best way to rid phosphate? I do have a reactor. What do you use?

So, I haven't posted my build because life happens. I managed to acquire my cube from a fellow reefer when I was in FL. Traded 6 zoa frags for it. I feel like I came out on top. It took a few months to build then stock. I got the rock while I was in FL as well. I've always wanted a cube because...

I'm currently running a marineland 360 canister filter and I've been thinking about changing the filter media. I'm using what came with the filter; from bottom to top: coarse foam, carbon, bioballs, ceramic rings w/ polishing filter pad on top. I've been doing a lot of research on canister...

I want to turn my bio-pellet reactor off for several reasons, but if things don't work out I'll want to turn it back on; I've already learned, from experience, that you can't just turn the reactor off for a week and turn it back on. My questions is, is there some method for storing the used...

Hey guys and gals, I was using phosban in my phosban reactor got my nitrates under control along with better "husbandry". I was talking to my LFS and he mentioned biopellets. I tinkered and tinkered with my reactor and finally got it to get the beads to tumble. Here is what I did and I...

I have removed my rowaphos reactor and started running bio pellets, .my question is if My phosphates are at .10 and nitrates are zero would I still need to do the half recommended amount of bio pellets, and move up to full in few weeks?would I have negative effect removing rowaphos, even though...

I'm looking into starting up a reactor with bio pellets for the first time and I would like to know if anybody is still running a phosphate removal media with the use of bio pellets. My phosphates are at around .07 running rowaphos. Would I be starving the bacteria in the bio pellets if I would...
