So after reading the thread "Vodka VS BioPellet Reactor", i have become very interested in setting up bio pellets for my system. My tank itself is not fully stocked, though it is primarily sps, along with a few zoa colonies and a couple lps and clams. The growth seems fairly steady once the corals are established in the system. But the colours seem to lose most of their "pop" so to speak. I mean they don't brown out, but not nearly as vibrate as when I first get them. So my main goal is to achieve the colours that I see in some of these beautiful tanks here on R2R.
A Little about my current display:
About 11 months old, all live rock and coral was transferred from my previous tank. It is a 90 gallon display, fairly shallow tank, (14 inches in height), running a 250 M/H along with some LED. Filtration consists of a Bubble King 180 protein skimmer, along with a phosban reactor, cheato and a remote deep sandbed about 7 – 8 inches deep.
I think in my case the Deep Sand Bed has become more of a problem than anything else. If implementing the bio pellets, do people still run their phosban reactors and cheato? I am also considering taking out the Deep Sand Bed. If I do take out the phosban reactor can I use that same reactor for the biopellets? It’s one of those 2 little fishies reactors.
