If it ain't broke, don't fix it.


Well....no, my tank is rocking the way it is to be honest but since I increased my fish stock I have seen my nitrates climb from almost undetectable to 15 at one point. I just don't want to see algae show up like it did in my 50...

Normal biocubes if you've got no3 and po4
Titanium biocubes if you only have no3

Buy them here....(I think he's in Quebec). J&L had them at one point and might be able to source some (talk to Jeff).

Reef Concept

I'll say it again...

I used to use Biopellets and stopped..... Waist of money, time & energy.

I've done biopellets (vertex) then switched to vodka and vinegar dosing and now back to all in one biopellets. The all in one work but are almost to aggressive on phosphate as I can never register above 0 on my Hanna ULR (9 heavily fed fish in a 60 gallon) and because of this nitrates have climbed a bit.

I'm now starting aquaforest and just loaded up my sump with siporax (took me forever to stack these things in an egg crate box).

Should have the rest of my aquaforest products next week and I'll be dosing Pro Bio S with Pro F for nutrient reduction and many of their other products for coral health.

I'll slowly reduce and remove the biopellets while doing this and keep you updated.

Plus 1

Only thing I will use. Works like a miracle.

Made by orca labs in South Africa, but lost distribution in na. Reef concept did bring some in.
