stagnant biopellets

That's because the hobby is not about keeping a fish tank: it's about shopping for things for a reef tank. Having the reef tank is just a pleasant but unintended side effect. Thus, using rice, if it could be proven to work the same, to save money goes completely against the grain. However, if we were to take a bag of rice, repackage it as "specially formulated for reef aquaria and ideal composition for optimal nitrate and phosphate reduction", jacked the price tenfold, you'd have the next big thing and let's face it you'd make a LOT of money doing it. Who gives a crap about the reef tank, WHAT CAN I BUY NEXT?!?

Hehe, I already do 20% weekly waterchanges (except when I fall off the wagon in the summertime) and I must say, it keeps things going nicely and the fish and corals very happy. However I always think things could be "tweaked" a little by the addition of various "got to have" products
