If I may ask, are they the Two Little Fishies ones. I know you had 2 different kinds last time I was there.

Does anyone have any experience with Dr Tim's biopellets used with their bacterial cultures?

Reefman that's a discus, Freshwater.

spieszak on the details we are kind of holding onto them , they dont go to anything right now but we plan on having them link to pages for each with details on the fish or coral they are linked to.

Lost creek the Dr Tims are pretty much the same as the Thrive or Vertex or similar and work well. Thier are only two types now that operate a little differently. One is Warner Marines who put a little bit of ceramic in their for more interior surface area and then the new Chinese ones that two little fishes went with and I believe BRS sells them also, I have no info on them as they are fairly new on the market.

Hi Mike - Chinese biopellets....Hmmmm? Just thinking about toxic sheet-rock, vitamins, dog treats from China. Then logically wondering is that a wise sourcing of material used to help keep a sometimes delicate ecosystem going? My understanding is that the source material for the Dr. Tim's pellets was purpose designed for use as biopellets in a salt water aquarium environment, rather than using a food grade (biodegradable) material as biopellets (possible traces of stuff you don't want in the aquarium, more variable bio-degradation = variable performance). Anybody have any experience this way? :noidea:

Yea i guess you could take that view. on the other hand I would imagine you would need to buy a lot to have a manufacturer make a totally pure form for you?

Not sure

i wonder if we'd e en know for sure if the ones that don't come from china really don't come from china. i mean, labeling requirements aren't that strict on 'important' stuff.. aquarium stuff has to be low on the list as far as prosecuting or enforcing that type of thing... if you package it here, i wonder if you have to disclose...
