Greg: I thought you were already running pellets. So you only just recently starting running the pellets? Like, after your "event" as opposed to prior to your "event". It also doesn't sound like you changed up anything during the "event"?

In my old system I ran Polyp-Labs "reef-resh" with good success however with 700 gallons of water it is too pricey. I had good success in my new system without carbon dosing but now with 80+ fish in the system I feel the need for a nitrate reducer so I decided on the bio-pellets mainly because they are very little extra work.

I'm sure you still have some sweet treasures lurking in your system. Always enjoyed coming over and finding something cool every time

There is some very nice Aussie stuff coming into Canada these days. I should have some new Aussie stuff in the near future.:biggrin:

I have high hope for this "strawberry shortcake", the mother colony this came from was quite impressive.

Picked up this sweet purple&yellow Turbinaria reniformis from a friend this week (thanks Gary) and noticed it's hosting two little green crabs. Nature is pretty cool. (auto feeder had gone off just before I snapped the photo so please excuse the pellets on the coral, I chased the fish away before they got to eat them all.)

I know this is a little off topic, but I'm curious about Bio Pellets, what are your thoughts on them so far? would you recommend them?

Too early to tell however if they do what they claim I would think they will pay off. I need to run some sort of carbon dosing for nitrate/phosphate control so I'm hoping this will help.
