N/P Reducing Pellets ("Solid Vodka") - "Wow" ... 3 month update

[kien]

I use a maxijet 900 on mine and they tumble. I did have to mod the sponges though (cut them down very thin like enkmat).

MJ1200 is what I am using and works perfectly.

Crap, I threw my foam out. It was nasty LOL.
Anyone have a little chunk of Enkmat?

I know it produces bacteria that provides food for corals, but won't live rock be doing essentially the same thing? Bacteria-plankton should be sloughing off the rock in the same manner, it's just not as obvious.

Still on the fence... but this looks very interesting.

Absolutely there is use for these in an already low nutrient system, I can now feed more and more often resulting in even happier fatter fish. The beautiful part of the pellets is that they are only used up based on the amount of nutrients in the system to sustain the bacteria. If the nutrients are low the pellets will deplete very slowly and the bacteria populations will be smaller.
