All in One Biopellets?

[illumnae]

Has anyone used the relatively new All in One Biopellets for some time? It's supposed to be biopellets with phosphate remover baked in, so it has enhanced phosphate removal capabilities. However, to my knowledge, phosphate remover doesn't degrade the same way that biopellets do - phosphate remover gets exhausted and then has to be replaced. Hence, how does this new biopellet work? When the biopellet degrades, does the phosphate remover get sloughed off as dust particles into the tank? When the phosphate remover is exhausted, how does it get removed from the tank? Really curious on the theory behind this new product.

i read abt this sometime bck but seems like no one talks abt them.

I was told by Ken of Madpetz that the all-in-1 bio pellet actually incorporate the GFO into the pellet. So when the starch get consumed by the bacteria, the GFO is slowly released and absorb the phosphate. The GFO particles are then picked up by your skimmer same like the bacteria.

I was using NP biopellet before switching to the all-in-1. Before that, my skimmate is lighter in tone. After switching to all-in-1, I realized the skimmate color is darker. I believe this is due to the GFO.

Don't ask me whether it is effective or not as I have just started using it. Only time will tell.

Harlequin Mania is using it also

I am still a bit sceptical about this all in one biopellets.

The biopellets are essentially carbon source for bacteria.

The bacteria is supposed to bind both nitrate and phosphate, where phosphate is usually the limiting factor as during the binding it needs 4x phosphate molecule to 1 nitrate (if I am not mistaken). Hence, there is no need to add phosphate absorber.

Sometimes, to push for new revenue, the company product manager may come up with "new" product that is just gimmicks that do not really add much value.

I could be wrong, but I just do not see the logic here.

I mixed NP to GFO in the same reactor so far ok after 4 months.

wow how did u mix the np and gfo? won't all the gfo come out of the reactor under high flow?

[Harryfocker]

I have a nano tank (2 ft) and placed the all in one biopellets in the Tunze Comline. That was about 2 weeks ago. I am not exactly impressed based on the water parameters but it may need more time.

[GuyFawkes]

so bio pallets and gfo can be mixed together? anyone heard about bio sphere? same as bio pallets but in bigger form right?

[Powder blue Tang]

Bio sphere same function as bio pellet but goof thing is that this no need reactor, just place near the skimmer where highflow water current will do, but it needs work with powerful skimmer for best performance ( this is wat I heard)

[flo_reeftank]

I did 50% every 2 weeks

Does biosphere contains any gfo or phosphate reducing media? If they dont then its not the same as aio biopellet.

[Hehe]

Does anyone encounter lots of yellowish particles while using the new yellow aio pellets? Wondering wads the cause? Too high flow? Or added too much such that the tumbling causes those small particles to come off?

I am using aio pellets works well but skimate produce is worst

Biosphere don't contain GFO, they are normal Bio pellets.
