Lots of people use them all the time, but I don't think it's necessary or optimal.

My nitrate spiked to 25 then i brought them down to 2. I would like to keep them around 5. My po4 was .05 not so bad i prefer around .03. I have a curve 5 skimmer on a 72gal with a soon to be light bio load again. I want to use the bio pellets because I don't trust my dosing regime for vodka.
