Actually... All the brands mentioned above are actually exactly the same product, the only difference may be the shape of the pellet and the packaging that surrounds it. All of these pellets are produced by a U.S. bio plastics company. If anything it is better to buy Canadian since Vertex is a Canadian based company.

Are all these brands PHA?

Add BRS to the list if so......

Warner marine ecobak.

Cheaper than vertex. I have heard they are all pretty much the same.

I feel it's working for me. Minimal algae.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I've gone through 2 bags of the Vertex pellets with no issues. I'm now trying the BRS pellets since they were on sale during black friday.
