I am planning on dosing the following:

ReefEnergy A&B - daily dose at minimal levels
MB7 - Almost every other day
Prodibio Biodigest - every 2 weeks

AcroPower once I get more SPS in.

Seachem Matrix carbon
Rowaphos

I have a biopellet reactor so I am thinking of just running it as well. Hopefully, the biopellets will do well with the dosing of the good strains of live bacteria from prodibio.

Biopellts + Carbon + GFO you're going to throw the tank off whack.

You'll notice nutrients nearly gone quickly and then get a bad case of Cyano you'll prob spend months trying to clean.

If you're going to run Biopellets run only Biopellets and you should run the output directly into your skimmer from a recirculating reactor that can keep flow relatively high inside the reactor but keep the output volume down so the skimmer can handle everything the reactor throws out plus the rest of the tank water it picks up.

Only add GFO later when and IF you get red slime and the carbon I would pass on as well as it's extremely porous and can become a place for all that bacteria to breed if your skimmer can't keep it all out of the tank, that's the main problem with biopellets.

As far as 2 part no harm in dosing as long as you can test for it, once you get to your desired level I would just throw kalk in with the ATO to maintain the levels.

I figured I'd run them at minimal levels since biopellets take weeks to populate and even then phosphates will not be taken up as quickly and I'd slowly wean my system off gfo.

Are you advanced reefers more into biopellets, zeo, vodka, vinegar, etc?

It'd be great to get a vast variety of people who show before and after and tell us their preferred dosing/pellets etc for nutrient control.
