Who is having success with the biopellets?

[ThaBeast]

I've been doing some searching and reading and only have found one person doing well with biopellets so far....anyone here??

 

[Stpatrick]

Not me. Thats for sure. I am switching to Warner Marine tomorrow.

I was referring to n/p reducing pellets in general, not a specific brand

 

[NU2REEFIN]

I removed mine, didn't like the results I was getting.

 

[Paul_N]

Been running EcoBak for about 11 months. Every thing is running smoooth.

 

[ThaBeast]

Paul, you make two people happy that I have found.

Nu2reefn, did you switch to vsv?

im running eco bak in my tank for 6 months and its been great.. reduces nitrate great but phosphate ok.. have to run a little bit of gfo to keep po4 in check..

 

[Troylee]

My tank crashed while running them but I can't prove 100 percent they were the problem...

I tried bio pellets out and wasnt happy with the results. Removed them after about 4 months of patiently waiting for them to kick in.

There are other threads on here about them. They are many people happy with EcoBak pellets.

I read your crash thread, sorry to hear about your tank issues bud. Are you going back to vodka/vinegar?

 

[Paul_N]

Here ya go. There was a poll on this one.

Just straight vodka never played with vinegar or sugar.... Actually I use vodka and mb7

 

[Nuocmam]

I've have cyano problems that I can't exactly attribute to the pellets but run them anyways. Both NO3 and PO4 are in check and colors look good.

I've been using BRS pellets for 6 months now with great results. Everything looks and is doing great. I dose mb7 to supplement the bacterial colonies.

I have been running WM Ecobak for coming up on a year and have been happy, I can feed relentlessly and maintain 0 nitrates and extremely low phosphates. I also dose MB7.

 

[racerw]

I have been thinking about using biopellets but I run my ALK in the 10 dhk range. I know I would have to lower mine and am curious to know what everyone is keeping their ALK at??

 

[swannyson7]

I've been using Ecobak since last August and it's worked well for me.

 

[spscrazy]

love my pellets nitrates are always at 0 now no matter how much I feed before the pellets I could never get the nitrates under 20 finally have white sand & only have to clean the glass maybe 1xweek very happy

Started EcoBak in August 2010. I put 1 liter on my 200 gal system all at once and had a few issues due to dropping no3 and po4 too quickly. After things settled in, everything as been fine. Still running undetectable no3 and po4 is running .00 to .02 on my Hanna tester. I pulled my GFO reactor about 3 months ago and notice little change in my po4 level. I have added very little replacement pellets over 10 months, just one small addition.
