Dr,
I have a simple question for you. I had a 150g system with a heavy bio-load. I dosed No-Pox with great results but I wasn't happy with the roller coaster ride of daily dosing. I made the switch to biopellets and somewhat good results with Bulk Reef pellets at 4 cups, my No3 stayed around 4-5ppm and my Po4 averaged around .08ppm. I could not get my levels to go lower even running 4 cups, I decided to shutdown the 150g and a go SPS dominate with a few LPS for movement. I build a 75g rimless with 50ish lbs of rock from my 150g, and a 35g sump that the total water volume is at 90g that was all new water and very light bioload.
When I swapped equipment I was keeping from the 150g to the 75g I moved the biopellet reactor as well, I did however kept the 4cups of pellets in the reactor. Im did my first water test yesterday ( 1 week since the change) and my readings
1.025
no3 0.75
po4 .02
cal 430
Dkh 7.7
mag 1350
Should I keep the 4 cups of pellets or should I cut back to the 2 cups recommended by BRS?
Thank you Dr, I know your very busy and want to thank you for taking a few minuets of your time.
