I agree bio-pellets are simply another media we use to facilitate the removal of something we don't want. Same as carbon, gfo etc. I don't use them but I wouldn't call them a band-aid fix.

My issue with biopellets are the many people I know personally that have had major issues with their tank when starting up the biopellets. I just think they are too fussy. This is the same reason I don't recommend Zeovit to novice reef keepers. Ya, biopellets can work, Zeovit can work. I simply stated I have no use for biopellets as I feel nitrate can be controlled with proper maintenance.

Very true Myka, there are some tricks to starting pellets that most people over look like starting them to soon, using to much at initial start up & not having them tumbling as much as they should. ATM the way my set-up is built I don't have the ability to do large water changes being on a septic system and they really help keep my nitrate & phosphate down to zero.

same with me too i always just primed and twisted and once i twisted i just held it for about 10 sec untill the bond happens...no leaks
 after i twist i take a coth and wipe the excess cement around the fitting for some extra insurance and to make it look pretty
