All your thoughts and opinions will help me make my decision.

Thanks in advance!

Bio Pellets don't really help with "Filtration" of the water per-se.

It's all a biological process to reduce N/P in the water. And results are not immediate and take a while to notice.

P.S. I have run mine in a modded Phosban 150 Reactor. Put a MJ-1200 on there for flow, replace the top foam with some "hobby mesh" (from Michaels) to contain the pellets from escaping, and completely remove the bottom Red plastic piece to get maximum tumbling.
