Nice. Ya, my biopellets ended up in the same scenario where they took forever to deplete, which kind of makes sense if your tank has super low nitrates (and phosphates). I do still like the simplicity of just leaving the pellets in the reactor and forgetting about them for a year as they do their thing and tumble away :-) That said, mine are struggling to tumble due to a faulty pump so I either get a new pump for the reactor or use one of my spare dosing pumps to dose vinegar instead. I suppose I could just do vinegar without the vodka. I've never done either but I've read up on both.
Your tank looks like it has all of two fish in it? I see a cardinal and a tang. Is that all you have in there??? :-)
