I have been using BRS Biopellets and ordered some from the Marine depot clearance.
I actually started wondering how many places in the world these are made. They probably all come from the same place.

No idea. I dont see anything in the description that is unique, That is how all biopellets work,

Gotcha
To be fair, it's a novel polymer... the only pellet using THAT polymer while EVERY other brand uses the same polymer from the same mfg. EcoBAK was the first BP from a US company. Well reviewed, too...

I've used two little fishys.
Ecobak.
Dr tims.
All 3 good.
I've used 1 before I didn't like. Can't remember the brand.
Currently I use Amazon or ebay pellets.
I got these cause they were the cheapest and seemed good quality for the price and amount.
The ones I didn't like were the pearls now that I think about it more.
They are all just mostly a polymer plastic that degrades over time as they rub against each other. Ur just creating more aerobic or anaerobic area for bacteria.
I always run my output to the skimmer.
They work.

The pearls were bigger than avg pellets and didn't tumble well.
I actually have a video of my XL aquamaxx pellet reactor in action if anyone's interested. I highly recommend pellets. Most can't get through the 1st stage which clouds their aquarium. Lol
