    I have to say that my biopellets have officially kicked in now. I cleaned y cup tis morning and within 12 hours my collection cup has 1/4" worth of skimmate in it. That equals about 4oz of skimmate. Nice and dark too. Nitrates seem to be going down now as well. I still have another 1/4 cup of pellets to add on Monday as well.

    I am awaiting my PO4 Hanna Checker right now, so I have no precise way of answering that question. The crappy API PO4 kit I have is to basic for this.

    As soon as it arrives, I will keep track of those changes on a weekly basis.

    Thanks for the Waste Away Dr. Tim!!! Like Xmetal I will post my results as well as before and after shots of my tank while using these pellets. Thanks to all who helped me here. K+8)8)8)8)
    P.S. I ended up buying the BRS reactors as I needed 4 of them and was on a limited budget. So far I am extremely pleased with them.8) I feel as though I was wasting my money using carbon and GFO in bags in my sump. Within 15 minutes of using carbon in the reactor my water was crystal clear.;)

    i recently started using a reactor for my carbon and gfo, and i feel the same way.... your wasting you money if your using them in a bag in high flow area. as i was on this tank and the tank before. I'm amazed at the difference! will not run them again without a reactor.

    always learning in this hobby it seems
