Bio Beads/Pellets
 
Has anyone tried the Vertex bio beads/pellets as opposed to the NP ones, I assume they are pretty much the same thing....

There is a Vertex bio beads? up until now i thought there is only one pellets being offer from oceanic corals. Where do these sell at?

J&l has this stuff

Coleus 06-25-2010 10:07 PM

cool, price is very competitive. Now, i see why oceanic corals are slashing their prices

I have seen at least 4 different variations on these Nitrate/Phosphate reducing "bio pellets" now. I think pretty much everyone has started to jump on the bandwagon with their own take. I saw a few bags of the Vertex variety at Red Coral last weekend :)

- The "original" NP Reducing Bio-Pellets
- NpX bio beads
- Vertex Pro-Biopellets
- Warner Marine EcoBAK solid vodka dosing pellets

.. just to name a few. Oh, and Instant Ocean now has a "fluid form of Solid Vodka Dosing via Suspended Biodegradable Polymers" ???

Do you know if they are they all exactly the same thing or distinct products and what are you using?

Exactly the same, they come from the same manufacturer and contain exactly the same natural biopolymers. The Vertex Pellets are the same excellent quality.

Our new "EXTRA" beads, will be similar size as the Vertex version but more concentrated.

Our price is lower and you get 50ml more product!

You had best go with the Phosban 550 with that size tank with 800- 1100ml of Beads.

We have some great Bio Bead and Reactor Combos available right now including the new Phosban 550 reactor and RIO 2100 pump, all in stock and ready to ship! When bought as a combo the beads end up being about $33.00 a bag.
