If you don't want to run pellets, you could always start dosing vodka, sugar, or vinegar (or all three). It's the same idea as pellets, and there's heaps of how to's online, and it doesn't require a reactor. It's a little more fickle to get going, but once it's dialled in apparently it's quite successful.

I'll look into a nano sized reactor. Any thoughts on prodibio? I think there is a nano version of that.

Some people swear by it. I tried it on my old 20 gallon nano and 90 gallon reef and it didn't seem to do much, but I might not have given it enough time. Those tanks never tested as having any detectable nutrients though, they were just over-run by problem algaes, so the Prodibio might not have been able to get it's foot in the door, so to speak. There's enough people out there firmly in the Prodibio "camp" to suggest that it does do something

Yeah it takes 6/8 weeks for prodibio. That's when I noticed the difference. I wouldn't use the nano kit. Just buy the bioptim and digest.

Any other suggestions?

Anyone know where I can get prodibio if I go that route?
