Looking for opinions on using BioPellets

[TimT]

I like to have my system as simple as possible as that way there is less to go wrong. I do not use bio pellets and a reactor to control Nitrates. I find that just using vodka/vinegar on a dosing pump is more than adequate to keep the nitrates manageable. For phosphate control I use a liquid Phosphate binder called Foz Down. I started making Foz Down as a way to help people have more success with their tanks. I found the ingredient in Foz Down to be very effective in managing Phosphates in my own systems and I was buying it in bulk. It is expensive for the higher grade. I made a size and concentration suitable for people to use which would not break the bank. LoL. An 8oz bottle which neutralizes 10.7 mg/l of Phosphate in a 180 gallon aquarium is 29.95 + shipping.
