I was getting about half this much before using the pellets. So I assume they are doing what they are supposed to be.

After 14 days of running the N-P Reducing pellets and MicroBacter7 the results are:

1. nitrates reduced from 20 to 10 on Salifert and Elos kits
2. darker, thicker skimmate
3. clearer water
4. cyano completely cleared up

Very promising so far!

I am now. I was only running a half dose for the first two weeks because that is all I had. The rest of my order came earlier this week.

Ah ok, good to know. Be interesting to see what happens when you add the other half
