Ahhh, don't tell me this... I have 5-6 litres of NP BioPellets, enough for eternity... Didn't want them to be unavailable for some strange reason.
Now you can use RICE!!!! I will be watching this also. God Damn It, who knew

It seems the problem with the rice is that it does contain phosphorus. Also it may break down too quickly or not quickly enough. It also contains many other trace elements, vitamins etc.
Not saying it won't work though.

Personally, I would wait a while longer till these rice experiments have some more results on which to base your decision.
After all, just because a few reefers are doing it, doesn't mean it will work in the long run. Are you willing to risk the thousands of dollars & the health of your tank's inhabitants on something like this? I'm not. If it proves to be a success eventually, then go for it. But why jump on the bandwagon when you don't know where that wagon is heading? Could lead to a crash instead of a cheap replacement for these biobeads.
