Made the switch to BIO-PELLETS

[TRUKINGNY]

OK everyone i made the switch to the bio-pellets i wanna see how it does on my system.. i am turning my tank into a mostly SPS tank and wanna see if this method works so i will be posting pics and logging my results on here to share with everyone.
P04- .12
Nitrite-.07
Nitrate-5
salinity-1.025

thats all i tested this moment lets see what happens...
a little about my system is it is a 120gal AGA tank 30gal sump have 160lbs of live rock, 160lbs live sand, a bermuda protein skimmer, all in one ice cap light which is (2)250w MH 14,000k, (2)54w T5, LED moon light, also running carbon in a two little fishes reactor, also have 2 MP40 vortechs for flow, and also a mag 9 for a return pump which i have my NEW bio pellet reactor coming off of a manifold and outlet right in front of the protein skimmer inlet...

Started with 200ml of vertex bio pellets yesterday afternoon and so far no cloudy tank or anything at all so i guess i just sit back and wait my tank is rated to have 800ml but iam gonna add slowly made 100ml a week or 200ml every 2 weeks havent made up my mind yet... ill keep everyone updated...

Good luck, give it a good 6 weeks to see results
ps tank looks good, and heavy feed once po4 is zero

I just started a little over a week ago. My system is 220 gallons total but much dirtier (Higher PO4 and Nitrate.) than yours when I started. Check out my saga here, http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1962139

My tank was heavily populated and only had a few corals but I've decided to "clean it up" so I can add more sensitive corals. This just might turn out to be a good way to manage PO4 and nitrate cost effectively. Time will tell.
