I believe there is only 3 companies that produce the stuff. So many of them are the same. I am using both TLF NPX and Reef Intrests N/P BioPellets. I have had good results with reduction. But my leathers and pulsing xenia bleached... Not 100% its related but it was only a week after I started these.

I started with NP Pellets but now using the Vertex Pellets. I have a huge Devils Hand & Colt Coral & have never had anything bleach out at all.

I believe that Concepts in Calgary has the best price on the Vertex Pellets.

Actually... All the brands mentioned above are actually exactly the same product, the only difference may be the shape of the pellet and the packaging that surrounds it. All of these pellets are produced by a U.S. bio plastics company. If anything it is better to buy Canadian since Vertex is a Canadian based company.

Are all these brands PHA?

Add BRS to the list if so......

Warner marine ecobak.

Cheaper than vertex. I have heard they are all pretty much the same.

I feel it's working for me. Minimal algae.

I've gone through 2 bags of the Vertex pellets with no issues. I'm now trying the BRS pellets since they were on sale during black friday.
