i started mine with dry marco rock and mb7 for 2 weeks, then started the vodka and added sps..... all in 2 weeks and everything worked out great......pellets with mb7 would prolly work great for a cycle imo... the mb7 it's self works great....;)

Excellent. Thanks. I might give it a shot. I've got to read up a little more on the mb7, but looks like some good stuff. Unfortunate thing is that I haven't seen any pellet specific reactors on the market yet.

Check out sonny x he has great articles about it... He has a few threads on here in the sps forum and his own page at rimlessreef.com he breaks down the whole thing in simple words... I learned from reading his articles lol...

Hey AKU, I have the same name here too. I don't really think you need a pellet specific reactor. Any media reactor will do. I'm using my BRS reactor for my pellets. Warner Marine suggests less pellets with less flow. N and P suggest more with higher flow. so as long as it is big enough to hold what you need, then it shold be fine.

Excellent! I'll have to take a look at it.

Cool. I've read that they sometimes gunk up the sponge in the reactor, but I don't know how big of a deal that is... or if just taking out the sponge fixes the problem. In any case, I'll probably just look for a decent large reactor. If I have to mod it for some reason, I doubt it will be too hard.

I took out my sponges and replaced them with screens. Since they run all the time, I didn't want sponges filled with detritus.

Ahh, cool. Sounds like a lot of people are using needle point screen from craft stores.
