Dun think that will happen in Singapore as there is an exclusive distributor here and all LFS get their stocks from him.

My Setup:

Equipment List:

Chiller: Artica 1/5HP

Chiller Pump: Sicce 4000

Return Pump: OR3500

in this trade where there is an agent, it will not stop LFSes from importing from HK if they have the lobang and cheaper to get. Moreover, the 500ml and 1L are not standard package, there are bigger package. Hence, possibility of repackaging. Good for reefer to look at the video and check and highlight for any fake bio pellet spotted.

now im worried. better check mine whether its any of those.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Good for reefer to look at the video and check and highlight for any fake bio pellet spotted.

The bigger packages are ONLY for sale to aquafarms/public aquariums and they deal direct with the manufacturer. All other exclusive distributors in each country deal with the global distributor in the neatherlands and the standard packing is 500ml and 1,000ml.

Of course there is the possibility of the LFSes here getting their stocks from other distributors in other countries and thus getting in some fake products.

this is not acceptable for the different quality control. simply put, in consistent.

if that's the case if its from different manufracturing process of different machine, then why is it still so well mixed in the packet? if the 2 machines' output is in line to the bucket at a portional rate, then it could still be possible to achieve the well mixture.

but still, is it really that case? thats a question to ponder about.

On the left side you see the normal shaped NP Reducing BioPellets. On the right side you see the odd shaped NP Reducing BioPellets.

B.jpg

Picture of the 2 shapes of NP Reducing BioPellets in the package.

What to do:

If your skimmer stops working when you have added the NP Reducing BioPellets and you have 2 shapes of NP Reducing BioPellets, contact the store where you bought the NP Reducing BioPellets for more information to solve this problem. What you can do in the mean time: 1.) Take out the NP Reducing BioPellets till you contacted the store and helped you solve the problem or 2.) Sort out the 2 shapes of BioPellets and put only with oval shaped pellets back in to the system, not the square ones. Do contact the store where you bought the NP Reducing BioPellets.

Does the fake pellet cause any harm to the reef tank?

Edit: I read the link and it states that it is not harmful to the livestock. Didn't mention anything about corals though...

According to what I found out, it does not affect corals.

hi guys, new in dis forum,am oso a bio pellet user,

tink the maker of dis type of "cheong" bio pellet will keep improving his "cheong"

pellets making us harder to split(differenciate) the pellets,

meaning now we can split but maybe 1yr down the road we mite not.

cos hk too near china, n u guys sud c china products, damn scary to c how fast

they can duplicate n improve something, hope not from china..

guess now still can use but next time...

I'm very sure you didn't read the entire thread. Both types of pellets are made by NP Bio Pellets. Only thing is that the "cheong" type of NP Biopellets that you see in your package now was not meant for hobbist use.

Of course in future, you may see "cheong" NP Biopellets from China and made by companies in China but currently, the "cheong" pellets that you see are not fake products.

whenever those media stuff like this with good comments, those creatures out they'll think of something to make some quick cash before this news went bust

like bio-home plus, mrotoki bio ring(japan), deni pellet and now this

don't be suprise in our further future all will be almost the same

likewise equipment it like a market i copy from you thereafter you copy from me, in the end all will look almost the same with the same standard
