Favourite/best bio-pellets?
 
Please share your thoughts.... reasons behind preference could be in regards to longevity, shape (ergo tumbling), ease of use, cost, etc...

My favourite are the vertex biopellets simply for the fact that they are readily available. That is, just about every LFS has them. They are a nice shape and size and tumble well. Having said that, I have never really had much of a problem with any of the biopellets on the market. I've tried mostly all of them now I think. In fact, my current reactor has some of the original biopellets (lentil looking pellets) as well as BRS biopellets, Vertex Biopellets and one other brand I forget. They are all tumbling together nicely. I actually like to buy up other people's discarded biopellets when they decided that they don't want to use them anymore :biggrin:

None!

Next to ich issues, on this board the use of bio pellets cause reefers the most problems.

I don't understand why reefers continue to court disaster after reading so many bio pellet horror stories.

I totally agree! For the love of god, people, please stop using bioPellets! Shut them off and mail them to me. I will make sure they are disposed of naturally.

Disposing evil bioPellets since 2009 ---^

Seriously, send me your pellets. I provide this disposal service free of charge.

Kien lol

I just see so many successful sps reefers with outstanding tanks face problems and coral losses.
I mean if you have a nice sps tank, if it ain't broke don't fix it

Ya, it's painful to read about them for sure.. Sadly this is a hobby where we are constantly dumping things into our tanks that have the potential to nuke our tanks. You can easily nuke your tank with improper vodka dosing, improper zeoVit dosing, a bad batch of salt, a bad batch of activated carbon, bad lights, bad ATO, bad, doser, and on and on and on.

Also, for those sending me their pellets, you do not need to clean them. I provide that service as well.
