BioDigest??

Sure you can add tht if you wish , if after 6mths your not getting low enough no3 with pellets and vinegar then threes something a miss.

How many mls are you adding daily and how much pellets are in the reactor?

What size skimmer do yo use and what size system.

If it we me I would ditch the pellets and either go the full prodibio route or supplement your existing bcteria source with another carbon source.

Unfortunately with any system if you over feed , done have adequate size equipment or misuse the products then they will not work properly.

With no3 at 5ppm I would lower my po4 with gfo while slowly adding more vinegar , the risk is the pellets as we don't know what they re doing at this time, so because of the uncertainty of what the pellets are doing at the moment I would proceed slowly or remove them , in the grand scheme of things it's not efficient to run all these methods nor is it cost wise and can run into serious risks that are hard to recover form.
