Thanks.

I would suggest to start with our 550ml bag, run about half the bag and see what results you get. You can increase the volume of the beads based on how your aquarium responds. One bag should last you about 8 months to a year on 34g.

I've got 800ml in 100gal (estimated water volume) system. Got them from Oceanic Corals when they first came out around Jan I think it was. I was vodka carbon dosing before the pellets as a form of nutrient exporting, and had numerous challenges with that system (determining correct dose, ugly bacterial strings, looming threat of cyano, etc.)

However the experience with the pellets has been very pleasant. First they do as they say. I've had 0 nutrient challenges with this product since the new year. Nitrates and Phos are constant 0. The primary reason for the pellets is Nitrates, however they do seem to help with Phosphates. I also add 4 drops of Brightwell Microbacter7 daily for added bacterial control of nutrients (especially phosphates). The MB7 also helps replenish benneficial bacteria in the system as it's skimmed out and helps keep the water crystal clear.

This is a set it and forget it system...no dosing pumps or strict routine of manual dosing. So IMO these biopellets are well worth it for the ease of nutrient exporting alone. At the rate of use I'm noticing I'd imagine my initial 800ml will last about a year'ish, as mentioned, and I feed VERY VERY heavy.

Thanks OC for continued support of this product. I'll be adding another 100gal of frag tanks to my system soon and will be ordering another batch of pellets to compensate for the added volume.

Cheers

Would you please enlighten us on the scientific backing of this statement?

The NpX-Bio Beads are produced by the identical manufacturer as the first pellets that appeared on the market, our NpX-Bio Beads have been even further improved over the very first batches of Pellets manufactured for marine nutrient control

The manufacturer has said that the process to produce the pellets is being refined continuously as new batches are produced. The batches have a different density (Molecular Weight) and allow for longer denitrification life. This is not proprietary to our Bio Beads but may likely be product wide regardless of what brand you purchase.

Hmmmmm, I am happy with the original, I won't upgrade anytime soon. I hope my order is coming with my free bag... I will have enough pellets to last 2-3 years.
