Initially I will not be running any PhosBan with the pellets. As time goes I may run a little depending on what my phosphate levels end up at but I don't think there is a need.

I've been asking people what they use lately and most say pellets and phosban.
Grizz what about you ?

I am using an algae scrubber and ATB pellets, found the vertex would break down fast and turn mushy over time. Was using gfo but it striped the water too fast.

We like the Vertex and NPX (dist by TLF), they both work great and cost about the same.

Vertex pellets here, as stated above easily obtained from most lfs and quality that you can trusted. I also run rowaphos and carbon.

They don't remove phosphates at anywhere near the rate of nitrates
I also run vertex pellets and GFO

Does anyone know when a good time to start pellets would be? My cycle is over the ammonia hump, and I've already gotten up to 20ppm nitrate (no lights and a previously dead tank so nothing's consuming it). I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to put my pellet reactor online now, before there's even any fish in it?
