Warner Marine Now Has A Pellet Product - Page 11

poolkeeper1 · 07/07/2010, 11:55 AM

As far as i last heard there is a Pkg problem with the product that is holding up the Eco-Bak from getting to the retailers. That came from Warner Marine themselves. FYI

Yeah, Jon mentioned that the retail packages should be at retailers at the end of July.

I wonder how much the price will be jacked up when it gets to the reatailerd.

reef_doug · 07/07/2010, 06:40 PM

My experience so far... I've been using the EcoBAK pellets for 1 1/2 wks now. I did experience a bacterial bloom on day 2 through 5 but the tank is crystal clear now. I'm skimming wet and pulling out some stinky water as compared to before. I'm having to change the filter socks daily or every other day at the max where previously it was every 4 days.

No changes in nutrients yet, they were low to begin with (previously ZEOvit). Nitrates 5, PO4 = .03 (both Salifert). Corals are doing fine with good PE.

I purchased them RETAIL at neptune aquatics a week ago. They are already in store. Price for the 1 litre was same as online.

Also, my results thus far have been a massive increase in skimmer foam. Currently using them in a cannister filter with 250gph flowrate.

Edit: I have also been using them in a large sulfur DIY denitrator i built with a volume of 5 gallons. The denitrator has 4 layers, bottom is Denitrate media, next sulfur, next crushed coral for buffering, and finally about 250ml of warner biopellets. The denitrator cycled very fast(3 days) and currently outputting 0 nitrates from a tank with 50ish nitrate -- at a fairly fast flowrate for a denitrator.

Can anyone PM me Jon's number. I can't find anything on his website, and I can't get him to respond to e-mails through the site. Thanx ahead.

I must have been looking under the wrong website - I couldn't find anything but a customer service e-mail (which obviously doesn't work anymore). Thanx much.

Initially I found another site that kind of looked like an early version of their site with little info / navigation... was confusing to me as well.

Maximus · 07/09/2010, 02:41 PM

I just ran into a little problem. I took out all the sponges from my BRS reactor and added 1/2 L of Eco-Bak. Because the sponges are no longer there, the eco bak keeps coming out the output. Any ideas?

Get some of the plastic craft circles that people have been using and cut it to fit the inside of the container. Put that in first and then put in the pellets. I am doing the same thing with my MR1 reactor and it is working fine.

Maximus · 07/09/2010, 03:02 PM

Where do they sell this plastic at? Any craft store?

GreshamH · 07/09/2010, 03:08 PM

I would assume so sang, but looking over Michaels website I seem to not be able to find it there

I know Salinas has other craft stores and needle point is popular around here. In another EcoBak thread some one posted the actual product.

Thanks Gresh, I appreciate the info. Looks like I need to stop by Michaels.

I replied in the other thread as well, but I wasn't able to find them at Michael's. Hobby Lobby has several sizes though.

Maximus · 07/09/2010, 05:11 PM

Thanks Rizup. No Hobby Lobby here. I'm going to try Walmart.

Rizup · 07/09/2010, 05:14 PM

Cool, no problem. I didn't check there but I bet they have them.

lex211 · 07/09/2010, 05:50 PM

Walmart does have them they are square you must cut them to size.

drtrash · 07/09/2010, 08:04 PM

anyone know the treatment vol, just got 500ml but no instructions

500 ML is enough for 100gal of water volume, Ran in a seperate reactor with around enough flow to gently tumble the media. If you go back and read the whole thread you will gain more knowledge on this product.

Anyone know where I can by the pellets on the East Coast?

Try contacting them directly. They should be able to help you out.

Rizup · 07/09/2010, 10:51 PM

Mine seem to be doing well. The first day they were sticking together quite a bit and a bunch were floating on the top. Today they are fine.

drtrash · 07/10/2010, 10:46 AM

Just set mine up last night, running 350- ml in TLF reactor with 100 gph slow tumble. I was at least what I think is low 5ppm NO3 & .03 ppm PO4. Found the plastic screem material at MICHAELS.

MVlk · 07/10/2010, 01:10 PM

What is the smallest tank and smallest skimmer you goes are running these with??

Although I have them on hand, I am on the fence now whether to put these into use.

Regardless I am holding off for a little bit as I just replaced my bulbs and ordered the Hanna Phosphate meter. I want to have a good baseline to start from and be able to test accurately.
