May i ask for advise as i plan to use biopellets for my system.

Which brand is better :TLF- NPX Bioplastics or N/P Reducing BioPellets.

And i read somewhere if place too much in FR, it may cause red algae problem, anyone have problem with this product?

I just started the FR running not long, about two weeks already. The water initially is crystal clear, then two days in the FR operation, the water turns mliky and smells. I had to get the entire tank water to be changed, and it is running fine till today. The water is still crystal clear, but I see red slime alage starts to grow.

I am using NP biopellet. The trick is to increase the amout of media slowly to reach the recommended amout of media. The water will turn milky a few days due to sudden increase bacteria, it will reach a equilibrim stage and all will be fine. The diatom in my tank reduce significantly after the introductio of bio pellet.

Biopellet is a carbon source. If you do not have enough nitrifying bacteria to utilize this source of carbon, cyanobacteria will absorb the excess carbon for growth. That is why there are bacteria products that accompany biopellets (Eg. Bactiv8 with NPX Biopellet).

Always something more important than fish.
