Ya, when I get my new skimmer, I'll be retiring my DIY recirc. That might make a nice in sump reactor too?

I have to agree with Tony. I initially put the pellets in the ZeoRX and saw some mulm and changes, but still could not get the green film on back glass to go away, it would dissapate but still form in a different area.

Since putting them in a deltec fluidizer, and only a week later, wow what a difference. No green algae film forming and everything else falling off the back walls.

They do work, if setup properly

with these pellets one would not run macroalgae as well, correct?
assuming no nutrients for the algae to grow.

I have been running a chaeto fuge but have noticed a significant slowdown in its growth since starting. I'm considering stopping running it altogether, just haven't quite pulled the plug on it as yet.

My HOB CPR Fuge is now useless and grows nothing after bringing the pellets online. I will be removing it soon.
