I have been running for about 4 months in a mixed reef 140 gallon with I would say a mid size bio load. I do a 10% water change weekly. Tank has been running for one year. NPX pellets from Oceanic Corals in a vertex reactor. I started this reactor and dosed microbak 7 until bottle was gone. It has taken until now to see significant change. Nitrates and Phosphates are now almost undetectable in tank (to be fair I did not have a significant problem before but now the tests are clear) The one major upside is the amount of live food being produced. The inside of the reactor is virtually teeming with copepods. I would say this has been a great addition but you need to be patient. Also start the reactor with half as many pellets and add the rest after a month. Then you won't get big cyano bloom.

Running pellets here as well, about half the recommended doasage on my 265. My Nitrates and Phosphates are also undetectable. The major benfit for me is I can feed as much as I want and I haven't had to worry about an algea outbreak. I don't have a lick of algea in my tank and I clean the front glass MAYBE every couple of weeks.

Since 2009
 and ya, seems someone asks this once every couple of months. There's a lot of previous and ongoing discussion regarding biopellets which you can find by searching for "biopellets" in the forum.

I am running pellets over a year now with GFO, carbon, chaeto, RO. I still have to clean my glass every other day :-(

I have run them since the beginning, and Delphinus and myself are probably one of the first. Still running them, still no algae!
I myself, still need to clean my glass, but it is more of a whitish film that will build up after about 4 or so days, I am dosing Coral Snow, so it could be that on the glass, but otherwise water is crystal clean, glass overall always clean, and parameters are in check. Remember the key is tumbling them slow, NOT FAST!!!
