I also think less is more when dealing with the bio-pellets. I run half of what they recomend on my tank, The cheato is still growing(with a little die off when adding new pellets), this just means that I add more on a more frequent basis.

You could try feeding the pellets as you would with zeolites. I have found that the pellets need lots of food to work well. Just my two cents, hope this helps.
OK, something to think about... Can anybody else give this same type of proof. I just don't remove things cause, but if others can pipe in, then HMMMMMM

K, also want to post that I added some Seachem Prime to my tank yesterday.

I have some Softies that were all hidden, today, they are coming out some. Not perfect, but they are reacting differently.

I added some more prime today and will see what happens.

Also I bought some ZeoStart2, between the PRIME and the ZeoSTART2, both I started yesterday, my skimmer is going crazy, very yucky foam, more than normal. Again, HMMMMMMMM.

Before removing the BioPellets, I am going to see what the ZeoSTART2 and Prime does. I need some quality control, don't want to change to much at once, cause then I don't know the change/effect of what I do. What do you think?
