Yes exactly the case. I may revisit the method in the future. For now, I’m finding it more a pain just to setup and run a pellet or trickle or reef actif than it’s worth since I'm running the liquids anyways. I’m not knocking it, just wanted to see who uses the synergy and is it benefiting or not. Every tank is unique, and perhaps it may be awesome in someone’s tank.It's recommended by who? The company that sells it?
