Lance's 225 gal tank

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!

It was just starting to break out when you were here, then got fairly ugly in the next few weeks.

After 3 weeks of running the pellets and no water changes the nitrate level seems to have leveled off at 10. Which is a whole lot better than before the pellets when I was having to change 10% of the water weekly to keep the nitrates under 20. (Saved $25 in salt already!)
