25gal Starfire

[Delphinus]

One tank with pellets I had my gorgs in and they were fine. The mulm that the pellets shed might actually be good food for them. However this was a very high bioload tank.

Careful with the Acans though. I tried pellets on another tank which was already low bioload and close to zero nitrate reading on a steady basis (I wanted to see if I could "starve" out the caulerpa in there), and it had some very nasty effects on my LPS. All my LPS bleached out as did my carpets. 8 months later my purple carpet is only now showing signs of improving. My Acans bleached out badly as did my bubble coral and I actually lost a few Acans instead of them recovering. To add insult to injury it didn't do boo to slow down the caulerpa infestation.

My take away lesson is that you definitely want a non-zero nitrate reading before adding the pellets. Adding them to an already low nutrient environment can definitely strip too much out too quick.
