From the people who i know that used it and the stores that used it, they say it works like a charm. Start slow and build your way up.

What I have read is that its simply biopellets but media bag friendly. If shouldn't overdo it

I heard it does not lower your phosphates like biopellets do. Looking for confirmation!

But there's this other "version" called bio-cube titanium which helps to lower phosphates too.

Last that i read of, its about 16 parts nitrate to 1 part phosphate that gets lowered. Even with that ratio, im using it very successfully to lower my nitrates and phosphates.

Yah it was about that. I guess these are cubes and hence not that effective in reducing phosphates like pearls (I guess phosphy bacteria like to do pew pew while hiding). Maybe that's why titanium version is so rough and porous. Phosphy are shy...like blue throat triggers

Please correct me if I'm wrong but are the cubes and bio pellets just a carbon source.
It would probably be benificial to dose MB7 or like product to help bring po4 and nitrates down Using prodibio I cut out Gfo over a year ago |

Yap. Hence the chance of feeding the wrong bacteria and have cyano bloom. But the cubes might have some other stuffs in it too because they seems to work extremely fast compared to pearls.
