Bio-pellet Reactors: whats good whats bad

[Mrfish55]

How big is your tank? Personally I started with far fewer pellets than is recommended anticipating I would have to add more but I think it is working perfect as is so will leave it alone.

tank is 28 plus around 7 gallons for the sump, juuust a bit smaller than yours. i would have all the proper valves in place to control flow into the reactor and skimmer, (skimmer input is going to be low) and yes ill be adding biopellets very slowly and in very small quantities. some might say that biopellets would be overkill for a tank this size but id like to get some hands on learning done before i try it on a big tank.
