Vertex Bio Pellets vs. NP Pellets what is the difference

[The Grizz]

Can some one tell me what the difference is between the Vertex Bio Pellets and the NP Pellets? Do they both neutralize the same things and provide the same things into the water column?

Hey Greg,

From what I read, they both come from the same manufacturer. I don't know if this is true, but what I recall from reading articles.

They are both the same type of product doing the same job. NP is the first to come out, then of course many followed on the band wagon. So I do think you can go with the Vertex, which are cheaper and they will do the same job.

How are the clammies?

I have used both. I seen no difference in performance. In my opinion there both are equally the same.

I am currently running a mix of both in my reactor with no problems.

They work the same. Just the vertex pellets are smaller in size. I used both brands and just bought couple more bags from jl when it was on sale.

Cool that is what I need to know, I picked some up yesturday for the MR1 and put in the recommended amount per gallon and it really does not look like there is that much in there.

So would it be safe to dump the remaining NP pellets into the MR1 with the Vertec pellets?
