Bio pellet reactor
Hi Guys
I have a 100 gallon tank and my first fish I bought had velvet or ich and ended up having to go fallow for 80 days. Now that I have 3 fish in my system ive started to feed more than what I was when my tank was fallow and literally within 2 weeks of putting fish I ended up getting cyano. My nitrates have been steady at 2pm and still are and phosphates have been 0. I run gfo and have been since day one but im wondering if should add a bio pellet reactor to help with nitrates? anyone else use them? What kind of results do you get? |

Cyano is normal, and should he expected. The only way to combat it naturally is via water changes and not over feeding.
Keep a dedicated schedule of weekly or biweekly water changes. I do 5% on Wednesday, and 10% on Saturday. I don't run gfo, only carbon. I have a lawnmower blenny, 3 Mexican turbo snails, and 8 scarlet hermits. They keep it nice and clean. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk |
