Bio pellets

[Madmike]

Who here is currently using bio pellets and what have been your experiences? I currently have a low nutrient sps system and have been considering trying these as an alternative to GFO as the bacteria will have the added benefit of feeding the corals. Anyone with a low nutrient system using them? My tank is currently fishless due to an ick outbreak, so it will be fallow for 3 months and the sps are starting to fade in color. P04 measures
.01 on a hanna meter and No3 is less than 1 on an elos test kit.

I havn't used it yet but I will be using a simular product made by WM called EcoBak ULNS pellets. I have heard more good rviews than bad. I have a group buy going on. So we will soon have some hands on experience in the local area here soon. Here is a link to the GB and info on the EcoBak if you want to get in on it.

Yes they are shipping to me. I have a couple people that is already in the GB that I will be shipping to once they arrive. You would have to pay for shipping. Which should'nt be more than $5-10 bucks to ship to vancouver from Tacoma. LMK for sure and I will add you to the GB. All the info on price and payment is on the GB thread.

cool thanks, ill read through the thread and let you know

 

[Madmike]

Put me down for 2 liters please, i'll paypal tonight when I get home from work

 

[Madmike]

also, do you want to be paid for shipping now or wait until after it arrives? If so, how much should I include for shipping to 98665

 

[roscoe]

I just checked shipping from tacoma to vancouver through UPS. The cost is around $9-10 up to 10lbs which it should'nt weigh more than that for 2L. So I think including $10 for shipping would be more than enough. I will refund any difference back to you. Any how PM my your PP info when and if you are interested and ready. thanks

 

[Madmike]

pm sent with the info. thanks

hey roscoe, do you know of any dosing guidlines on these pellets? I have a somewhat large system, over 400 gallons, but cant find the guidline. the other products like the NP bio and the SWC pellets very greatly in how much to use.

There is a few links that I have in the GB thread that talks about the product and dosage.

This is a new product for the USA.

I know one guy using them now on a tray in his sump. he says they are working well with the tank but its only been 3 weeks. But he is not a common example he runs a dialyseas system w/fuge and a very low nutrient content to start.



I think the Tank of the month on RC is a polish guy w/pellets.

Any questions about the new vertex bio-pellets can be answered via the vertex rep, so fire away.

You are right about Tank of the month on RC - the guys in Europe (read Poland as an example) are going nuts about them. But based on info on polish reef forums it takes a little bit more than just to dump them into a reactor and problems will be solved it works, but you got to do it right.
