DrTim's Introduces NP-Active Pearls

Subscribed. Please let us know how you make out with these Xmetal. I am very curious to see how well they work.

 

So far I have just added the third increment of biopellets today. No real increase in skimmate production or reduction of nutrients as of now.

 

What kind of reactor are you using?

 

Modified NextReef MR1. I don't expect much for a little while anyway. I figure it will be a good 2 weeks to a month after the full dose is in until i really start seeing some changes.

 

Well good luck.I think I will place an order.Was thinking about trying a BRS bio pellet reactor. How do you like the MR1?

 

I like the MR1 a lot. Just a tip if you go that route, if your first inciment is small, for me it was 1/4 cup, there will be almost no tumble due to the small amount of pellets. At first i didn't think I had enough flow, but then after adding another 1/4 cup, the tumbling began.

I have read mixed reviews about the BRS biopellet reactor. I may buy the SMR1 because I do need another reactor for carbon. I will probably just switch the biopellets to the SMR1 reactor for slightly more even flow through the pellets due to the wider tubing used in the SMR1.

it seems as though the Reef Octo has the best design though.

 

This is what you should get. I just got mine, and 3 other folks i know are using them and are very happy with them....great price too.

Thanks guys I will look into all these options.;D;D

 

I just ordered my pellets. Is this the reactor you are talking about Xmetal?

Also are you guys running your reactors inside the sump?

 

My reactor is off to the side of my sump being driven by my return pump. Yes, that is the reactor I am talking about.
