How much flow for Biopellets?

1. Measure Biopellets. Add one cup (236mL) of BRS Biopellets per 50 gallons of system water volume to the reactor. For example, a 100 gallon tank would require 2 cups of BRS Biopellets.

Do Biopellets reduce nitrates?

For every 16 parts of nitrate, 1 part of phosphate is consumed. This is called the Redfield Ratio. For this reason, biopellets are most effective for controlling nitrates but do have a small effect on phosphate reduction as well. The bacteria colonizes and creates a biofilm that coats the surface of the biopellets.

How long do Biopellets last?

General time frame would most likely be between 6 months to a year. Basically if you have had your nitrates and phosphates at a certain level for 4.5 months, nothing else has changed, and they start rising then it’s time to add some more.

Do Biopellets remove phosphates?

The new All-in-One BioPellets have the phosphate remover built in allowing the bacteria to utilize it for growth and reproduction at the same place as their carbon source. This combination improves nitrate removal by about 5x.

Do I need a skimmer for Biopellets?
