Thanks guys! My wife has already decorated the house for Halloween if you can believe that so excuse the crime scene tape lol. Since I added the livestock the skimmate has turned BLACK! I love the skimmer. Great value.

Got one side of my brs reactor running carbon. Not sure if I'll do gfo later but I am officially off the bio pellets now.

Picked up a nice large healthy bangaii off a user here (thx Jim) and he's doing really well so far. Will let things run as is for a month or so and possibly pickup my kole or something else.

And tony if you're looking for me to call you handsome we've been thru this man it's never gonna happen (but thx for the help!)

Why are you not running the bio pellets any more?

Look at all the hair algae I have. I'm going to see how the new system does with decent skimming and a Kole tang. Perhaps my skimmer failed the NP test for me but I didn't really feel it.

Your the 3rd person in about 4 days who I have heard is stopping the pellets because they either caused hair algae in two cases or bleached livestock in the other.

I was reading on RC about the pellets and your results are not uncommon.
