Default bio pellets

I have been out of the hobby for a bit but now I have started back up. But this time small (rsm 250) and started my tank 2 weeks ago and fully cycled and installing a vertex biopellet reactor. How much have people been running for flow, amount of pellets and other additives that help with the pellets. My tank will be all sps with some lps in areas were there is not enuf light

I am running the NP BioPellets, and I run 3L on my tank (approx 250G total water volume). I have 3 reactors going, one litre in each.

Good thing about the Pellets, (Vertex, NP) is that it is hard to overdose. You did't state how much you have going, but if you want, you can increase a bit, then watch for a couple weeks, then do the same. As long as you see results, I think you are good to go.

I also run full Zeovit, minue the Zeolites. I only use approx 50-70% of the recommended, this even before the pellets.
