best all around bio-pellet

[riche]

I'm going to set up a bio-pellet reactor and wanted to get some opinions on the best all around bio pellet.

I'm looking for something to do a little bit of everything

Right now I'm using carbon and Phoguard and I'm still having a algae issue.

I was going to run Gfo also, but I have talked to a few people and they said a bio-pellet reactor is the better all in one.

Its a Mixed reef very light bio load as for now.

I dont want to get into the you should do this rather then this and you need this over this.

I have decided on a bio-pellet reactor, so I just need first hand opinions as to what people have had success with.

It is my understanding that there are only two different biodegradable polymers used in manufacturing biopellets. It simply is a carbon source to promote the growth of bacteria. I'd venture to say that bacteria do not have a discriminating palate, and could care less. However, I will state that the various manufacturers will tell you that theirs is the best. I use BRS pellets and my bacteria are delighted.

I'm happy with ecobak plus. I'm running around NSW phosphates and nitrates with no other reducers aside from skimming.
