NP all in One BIO_PELLETS are highly magnetic!!

Playing with my vibratory reactor I realized how highly magnetic the "np all in one bio-pellets"are . They must have good amount of iron oxide, I first thought that the pellets were a mix of the older bio pellets with gfo, it doesn't seem that way. All the gho I run my magnet threw is no where as magnetic as these pellets...Here is a pic ..[IMG]

Had the same problem. after adding the all in one pellets I had a continual slow decline of many of my sps despite parameters being stable (and getting better due to lowering PO4) but didn't attribute it to the all in one pellets until I notice that the magnets in my frag rack where covered in a brown sludge - I assumed that the magnets must have split and that was my problem however I pulled them out of the tank and before I hurled them across the front yard in anger I thought I should check where they had failed - cleaned them off and nothing - clean as a whistle, so I started checking all the magnets in the tank (wave makers, cleaner, vege clip etc) all where fine so I started looking elseware and found that the all in one pellets where magnetic. They where promptly pulled out and replaced with normal pellets and the tank has never looked better
Buyer Beware
