Hey all,
I'm setting up my sump for a new 34 g reef tank and I plan on putting bio-pellets in the sump because I'm using Real Reef rocks that don't have much surface area. I'm concerned about waste buildup in/on the pellets, so I'd like to keep them in a large media bag in my sump so I can take the bag out and rinse them.
Will this defeat the purpose of having bio-pellets by rinsing away all the good bacteria?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
