As quoted by the manufacturer;


"The main advantage of this method over using Vodka or sugar as a carbon source is that BioPellets stimulate local growth of bacteria in a filter compartment, instead of all over in the aquarium where they may clog up pipes and hoses"

Hey Ian,

Can you tell me how many litre bags I need to buy in order to get my free bag, remember I got one litre initially through Tony, than order 2 more Litres through you and again delivered to Tony.

Do I have to 1 or 2 more bags for the freebee, I can't seem to find the threads...

Thanks,

Rick

The first bag was purchased by Tony so naturally he would get the credit for that one, the other two you purchased would most definitely go towards our promotion. You need to purchase two more 1000ml bags and you will be entitled to another 1000ml free.

So after reading all this, I'm still not clear on what people are running to get the TLF 150 unit to churn properly.

From what I can gather you:

-Use an MJ1200
-Remove the bottom plate
-Remove BOTH pieces of foam
-Run full flow

My plan (since I have just ~35 gal of water volume) is to run around half a litre of pellets with this setup in the hopes that it'll churn nicely.
