Clement is correct. Skimmer in any tank is a must. Instructions for bio reactor is to place it just before skimmer. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Can try bio reactors with biopellets Dropped mine from 80 to nothing in 2 mths when I used them with reef octopus bio pellets. What's ur bio load like ? Fish count and size of em. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

U need to add them in and let them populate for a while b4 the mandarin goes in. Throw some in the sump to grow out also. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Stop it for a few years Let them re-generate IMO. If there's rly an impact.. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

It takes 4 weeks for brand new pellets to start getting effective btw, dont wait till they run low before topping up. I believe the existing pellets help in colonizing the new ones. Also FYI for those who didnt know. These pellets are pure carbon. The principle is the same as vodka dosing. (Carbon is the main ingredient in vodka) Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi all, just thought I'd share some experience on this. After having replied to a member on another thread. Ive seen and heard cases of reefers running bio pellets but reported them as inefficient. Its not just about simply running bio pellets and having 'some' spin around in a reactor. If it isn't dropping , it may be because there's too little running. Citing a simple example which I encountered. Initially they seemed to work for me. But after some time as my tank matured the nitrates started moving upwards and I looked everywhere for the problem. Turns up its simply because : my biopellet volume was insufficient. Eg. If 50g of pellets bacteria capacity drops 2 nitrates per day. But ur tank is producing 3 nitrates per day. The nitrates will Never drop. Ie. U need a bigger factory [emoji555]. When I realized the problem I ensured my pellet load was always double the amount in my reactor. About one full cup or 250ml. My nitrate problem never came back. Plus it doesnt matter if they clump up. Just ensure water is running slowly thru them. Hope this thread helps some reefers. This was the thread where I replied on this item as well: Http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/147012-Biopellet-vs-UV#entry1314206 Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Plus I agree that UV and biopellets dun affect each other. The bacteria on the pellets won't go swimming thru ur UV. They just hang on and live their lives out on the balls. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

If u r running bio pellets properly ur nitrates shld be zero to one. Won't need to change water so often just to keep nitrates low. I'm running reef octopus bio pellets with about 10 small to mid size fish bio load in a 70g with corals. I change 10% water prob 4-6 mths once for the fun of it. I believe ur problem may be something I had initially. Having some bio pellets spinning doesnt mean ur nitrates r gng negative towards zero. U need to always maintain enough pellets which houses an X amount of bacteria to reduce a Y amount of nitrates per day. Example: 50g of active bio pellets maybe dropping 2 nitrates per day. But ur tank produces 3 nitrates per day. The end result is that your nitrates will never drop. The above happened when I kept only a half cup of balls running. My net gain in nitrates was always positive. Once I realized my problem I ensured one full cup or more was always colonizing bacteria and I had NP moving forward. Also, the balls dun need to spin. Doesnt matter if they clump. Just run water thru them will do. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Yes agree, have it in the best corner with the least natural light hitting. Or oyama the sides. Also, try to have 2 returns. If I ever have another tank, 2 returns , and 2 chillers with the 2nd one ready to cool 0.5 degree above the first one to cover for failure. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Its usually cos of nitrate spike. U might wana test for that . reduce it n If u have algae cuc like tang or algae blenny they'll be gone. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Brown algae on the sand will go away after a while with tank maturity. The rest is either algae scrubber in sump, reduced lighting. Or just black oyama the sides of the glass u dun view and ignore the algae there. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Best design Tecos tk range has a cap to direct exhaust towards an opening in ur cabinet. Just make anotther slot or hole maybe an inch or 2 wide on the other side hidden to stream in outside air. I have no intake holes the air just goes thru the gaps of the door in front and behind the tank. This is the inside See this vid from YouTube Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
