1` I am reading up on bio pellets, I see people advising to put the reactor upstream or even direct feed of/to the skimmer.
Can anyone explain this ? doesn't directly skimming out what the reactor creates defeat the purpose? it seems to me you just skim out the bio pellets as they dissolve..
2` Does anyone have experience with Very deep sand beds. 12" or more deep. are they affective? is a plenum still advised.
3` Is Cheato more effective then a dsb ? what about the D.O.C concerns? I remember an article that proved cheato out preformed mangroves for nutrient removal. but it may release more doc's. any comments?
4` Does anyone have experience with a benthic zone refuge? any advice or links to how to set one up effectively what critters to put in ect..
thanks for any help in advance.
