Yes you don't want to do this without a good skimmer. So go for the skimmer upgrade first.

It's in the works...I dont think I'll need to try this stuff after I get the skimmer tho, my tangs are what's doing my tank damage, thos lil poop factories lol the nac9 is rated for 300g +

Day 10 - My API test kit is saying my nitrates are at zero. Granted API is not the best, but my reading using the same kit was 5 before I started with the pellets. I haven't tested for phos yet but will post as soon as I have those measurements. I also have less algae buildup on the glass, I haven't cleaned in days. My substrate seems to be getting a little cleaner too.

Does anyone have an opinion on this reactor?

Seems like a good price, and the inlet/outlet sizes are large.

I installed the Vertex uf-20 reactor with 1000ml of pro biopellets using Mag drive 3. I'm using an MTC 1000 skimmer with Mag drive 9. Tested my water before running biopellets using Hanna tester. I got phos reading of 1.36. API test shows .25. I hope all goes well.

using the vertex uf-15 and a mj1200 with 500 and had to dial it back, the vertex reactors are no less then their skimmers in construction. built likea tank, plus you can fully tke it apart

I'm cleaning my glass maybe once a week when before I'd be cleaning 2 to 3 times. Water clarity is good (but I also have carbon in a media bag in my sump). Sand is almost clear of cyano, rocks have cleaned up too. I still dose special blend though so maybe that helps. My phoshate and nitrate levels are still undetectable (using API).

can bio pellets be used when cycling a new tank..

 

[batt600]

yes you can but i would dose mb7 with it

 

[MPISCIOTTI]

what is mb7. i been out of the hobby for a few years just getting back into the hobby

 

[batt600]

Its a carbon dosing supplement that will help seed the pellets and help your system

 

[MPISCIOTTI]

what store on line sells mb7 can't find it on marine depot or aqua cave site

I just started dosing vodka and Zeovit's Zeobak this week. I'm using a pretty conservative dosing quantity and will ramp it up very slowly. We'll see how it goes.
