Default Bio Pellets

Thinking of starting up my biopellet reactor that I've never used. Where's the cheapest place to get pellets? Recommendations on brand?

I have some extra Hydroton at $10.00 (8.5" x 11") a bag. It is excellent at keeping down nitrates. We could meet at J & L.

Yes, it is the best way to use it.

However, you could also put them in a 1 micron filter bag but you would have to empty and clean the bag every three days to prevent nitrate build-up.
