Actually it's generally not a good idea. For the biopellets to work its best not to disrupt the ratio of phosphates to nitrates. If you suck up all the phosphates with GFO or similar, the nitrates can build up because there isnt enough phosphates for the bacteria to reproduce (and consume nitrates).
