Trying Warner Marine Ecobak. Tips?

[paddyob]

I have two TLF reactors running. One has carbon. The other nothing.

I have been considering using NPX Bioplastics/Biopellets. The cost seems easy to take and the usage seems simple.

Can anyone shed any light? Used them? Good or bad?

NPX:

Also considered the Warner Marine EcoBak Pellets:

I don't want to go Zeo. Not interested in the cost factor involved.

Thanks for any advice.

I'd also like to know, seems like a media reactor version of the Natural Nitrate reducer polymer balls.

Zeovit is completely different.

Just thought I'd insert that in there before the thread got too far ahead.

I have been running them for over a year now & have noticed no ill affects. The main thing is to run them properly, start slow with 1/4 of the recommended amount, start to increase them after a month & make sure you have good flow or they will goo up really fast & cause you nothing but problems.

I would recommend the Vertec Bio Pellets over anything else though.

I would not buy the Two Little Fishies product, the bio-plastics are not the most effective bio pellet media from what I have read. I was the first to import the Plastics to Canada and others like Vertex and SWC followed suit with the exact same source. I would stick to the Vertex or original "NP" brand if possible as both are the same. Alternatively I have 1kg of the pellets available bulk for $20 if you are near Langley.

PS. I started the "NPX" brand name, TLF pellets are not the same product as the original "NPX" pellets.

Perhaps a sister-technology to this new LED thing I've seen a thread or two on?

It is the Vertec brand of NP pellets, the are just called Vertec Biopellets. They were recommended to me by Red Coral as a better product over the NP or NPX.

Oh.. Okay thanks. I heard that they were better than zeoVit pellets, is that true?
