So some people have been running the pellets for nearly 7 months, Is everyone still happy? Anyone seeing improved coral growth/colors?
I strongly considering jumping on the bandwagon, I thought of going zeo however the constant dosing, shaking, plus my work schedule, pellets semm a far better choice for myself.

I have had a severe hair algae outbreak...not sure if its the pellets or not...but I never had it before.
I have notices my corals are much brighter...but my kenya tree has lost all its color. No change in my clams.

No cyano or algae break out after adding the NPX pellets to my system. Perhaps the dozen or so tangs in the tank have something to do with that

I've been running the pellets since January and have been pleased with the outcome. I have an overstocked 225g mixed reef with large, fat fish and I was constantly battling nitrates. Since the pellets I've been able to cut water changes in half and the NO3 & PO4 levels stay low. I also had a serious bubble algae problem which is virtually gone now.
I can't say I've seen an improvement in coral colours, but growth has definitely improved.

I started pellets 2 months ago and like Cameron, I too have had a bad HA outbreak. I can't say for sure it was the pellets either but the timing is highly suspiscious !

It seems that people with smaller thanks seem to have the algae problems.... I have run pellets since january and have not had any algae at all. I have noticed that I have had a Copepod explosion tho! they are everywhere! lol

My pods in the sump also love the pellets. Used to see a few, now see lots in comparison.

Well i have run it for 7 months now, and did not see the result i was expecting until i unplug my UV sterilizer. So now i am very happy with it because it really keep my nitrate down with less water change and feed the fish more. (like 3 time more :-) )
Not sure about coral because my angels are picking all my corals left and right so ..... oh well, maybe i should them more until they can't move anymore to pick on my corals. Also. the bigger reactor, the better result you get. I was running 2x small TLFs and did not get the same result as one big deltec. I am running 1L of pellets on my 155 gallon tank Last edited by Coleus; 07-16-2010 at 09:21 PM.
