What does a bio pellet reactor used for?
Thanks budWhatever happened to vertex? Nice sump btw
I find that using something like Chemipure and/or Purigen to be more effective than carbonOn my currently running set up I am running a single reactor that I always has carbon in it, and as needed I will put phosban in it.
On my 144 that is currently being assembled I have a BRS dual reactor that will be the same as the 60 cube. Carbon 100% of the time and phosban as needed.
Just Polyfilter...I have rowaphos and carbon on standby just in case but never have to resort to it, the polyfilter, live rock, water changes and a daily addition of live Phytoplankton keeps my reef sweet...I like to keep it simple

Previously I ran it in a seachem tidal 35 HOB filter, I changed my tank a few months back to an all in one so just run a piece in the rear section and change it out every couple of weeks, considering I feed my tank quite heavily directly and in the water column because I keep dusters, Christmas tree worms, Corckscrew corals, LPS etc it keeps the water sweet...I could probably go longer between changing it out as well to allow my phos and nitrate to raise a bit but prefer to keep on top of itHow do you run this in your tank? Love your simplicity approach.

It's great for absorbing disolved organics and even elevated ammonia so that in turn keeps the nitrate down, and I like that it reduces phosphate but not to zero so doesnt starve your corals of it, I read once that it was originally designed for kidney dialysis before it was used for aquatic purposes,I have heard it is great for removing metals and such but didn’t know it can reduce nitrate and phosphate. I ordered some and sill probably put between a baffle in my sump.
