I thought I would give this a go on a tank to see the results after reading this thread.

Although i still have 2 L of unused pellets, i hope this will work.

Interesting, will keep an eye on that one for sure.

Why wouldn't this work. It might take the bugs longer to breakdown the starch but it is the same as biopellets. They use molasses in bioreactors on large scale.

Ahhh, don't tell me this... I have 5-6 litres of NP BioPellets, enough for eternity... Didn't want them to be unavailable for some strange reason.

Now you can use RICE!!!! I will be watching this also.

God Damn It, who knew

Just another reason for my wife to get mad about me taking things from the kitchen...

--turkey baster
--baking soda
--measuring cups
--mesh strainer (for fish food)
--bottle brush (for cleaning skimmer cup)
--paper towels

Honestly dear, I have no clue where tonights dinner went...

I tried wild rice, but prefer not to support such an industry, so now its farmed rice only.

So if you use AROMATIC Rice will this mean that your tank serves also as a POTPOURRI? Just wondering...
