Weigh in with your experiences with biopellets or vodka dosing

[Spiny]

I can't exactly vouch for the benefits of vodka as I don't even remember the colors I had before I started dosing, however both my nitrates and phosphates are very low and I have not had a single negative effect from dosing vodka. You can try (ramp up slowly if you do) and if you dont like it you can always stop

I use npx bioplastics in a tlf 150 reactor, and I find a mj1200 to not be enough flow even wide open. When I move it to my new sump, I'll be hooking it up to a mag 5

It's not really the mj1200 with not enough flow, if you look at the inlet of the reactor it's a VERY small opening, there's a spot in there where it's down to 1/4". I went to a 550 thinking that would help, but they have the same thing. Havn't seen mods on hoe to fix it, but i've debated running a drill through there.
I also get pellet build up in the inlet and outlet corners, something to look for. when the pump shuts off i have backflow that pull them into the inlet corners, and they get stuck there.

Only reason i say it's not the MJ is because i've seen the MJ on a proper biopellet reactor and they where stirring like crazy.
