Running Biopellets while cycling tank?

[bfazio1030]

Good or bad idea to run biopellets with a reactor while i cycle my tank? On day 2 of the cycle.

does not impact ammonia control at all/can do

same for gfo, even though it commands phosphate it won't stop the cycle. it takes simply more to stop it

Bad idea.You run biopellets reactor when you want to decrease primarily your nitrates and secondary your phosphates. Do you really know what your nitrates and phosphates are going to be , let’s say in 2-3 months? They might be zero.
