Some will be eated by corals yes, but the real benifit of running biopellets is to skim it out to export the nitrates.

In this thread the original poster saw no detectible nitrates or phosphate one week and the next it was really high. I don't think it was the biopellets that had caused this, especialy after 2 months of running it.

It was my understanding that the bacteria from biopellets will get into the water column for filter feeders (like some LPS) to feed on? So shouldnt they benefit in that way?
