After about 3 months of usage, I have been having problems keeping any sort of nitrate and phosphate in the tank. I tried extra feeding and such, so I was wondering if anyone ever put a biopellet reactor on a timer. I was thinking about cutting it in half (a half an hour on and then a half an hour off) just to see what it does. Anyone ever do this? I know I could just remove some pellets, but I was wondering what all my options would be. I might add neophos and neonitrate, but that would be yet another expense and more complexity. I probably will just go that route eventually, but was wondering how everyone else manages theirs.
