White stuff - what is it

[reefme]

Will dose zeobak, zeofood, and zeostart.

You may want to use a reactor and the rock to give the bacteria something else to grow on

+2 - the film in your pipes can be cleaned. I think 2 Little Fishes makes a pipe cleaning magnet if you are concerned. I personally wouldn't worry.

If your spending the money for those 3 Zeo products you might as run the zeo rocks in a zeolite reactor to get the full affect of the zeo nutient reduction system.

2 months down the road it would be interesting to know if the the expensive zeo system is "better" than the sugar/vinegar/vodka you were doing.

I don't know if I have room for reactor.

I would try eliminating the sugar and do straight vinegar or vodka and vinegar.
I think you need to wean your tank off the carbon if you switch.

Forgot I also running biopellet.

I don't think you should be dosing liquid carbon with bio pellets. I would wean the tank off the liquids and just run the pellets.

What size reactor should I get for 150G total water?

+1 There's such a thing as too much carbon dosing. if you're going to start going the zeo method with zeolites and all I would also recommend halting the biopellets
