BioPellets

[RushAct]

After buying my BioPellets at Shop "A" Shop uncle told me that the media can be place in a sump with a high flow area, can be use w/o a FR. After a while i feel that its not working really well at all.

So i got my lazy butt to DIY this, instead of buying a new 1 having to spend the money and time.

please tell me if this will work, gum xia.

As long as the media tumbles and not get clogged..

[gargamelron]

lol... you are really creative indeed

[serravorte]

good idea.. thumbs up..

[RushAct]

so there is no such thing as too much flow ?

Hey, thanks guys! go DIY your FR today!

Cheers

You need flow to deliver bacteria to the biopellets or at least that I what I know... And the tumbling will knock off the old bacteria on the biopellets surface and allow new bacteria to attach on the "Clean" biopellet surface...

Below is my colleague nick Gambitz setup.. similar as your design.. it works fine..

In fact, do not need so many media's for the reactor to works... Pls find video below the working units...

[RushAct]

his looks professionally made nice =)

Thanks Cfoh, the next time i will just put a little less media.

Cheers

The flow is too low liao.. It will generate Hydrogen sulphide overtime...

Above flow shld be just fine. Hydrogen sulphide(H2S) prefer dead water/super low flow.. therefore, dripping system like Sulphur reactor or DSB has more tendency on this if not proper maintaining in long run.. Cheers.

Yup, I know but with the clumping of the biopellet, there are cases of Becos of his, the biopellet produce Hydrogen sulphide instead..

Ya, that's one of the reason do not add too many of them in yr reactor... also they r carbon base media...

Its only been a few weeks since i started using biopellets, few weeks ago it was almost filled to the top but now its less than half the bottle!

any bros know why? my flow rate too fast? or my tank has high nitrates thats why its being eaten up very quickly?

Because its very xiong for me to replace it every few weeks =\

Thanks

Any escapee from yr reactor? Cheers....

If it is melting , it mean that the Bio pallets is working lol . It depend on the bio load of your tank system, the higher it is the faster the bio pallet melts. Maybe you want to consider using a bigger reactor to contain more Bio pallets , so you need not top up so often.

[tunicate]

Bro RushAct. Do you mean "xiong" as in $$, or effort to top up the pellets?

[Morpheous]

Quite subjective about adding more biopellets.I had bacteria bloom when the pellets are firstly introduced. Maybe the quantity has to be increased progressively?

[RushAct]

oh..! need to add slowly? i just dump in 1000ml of it inside =\

Yea "xiong" as in $$ =)

Well, good news is at least its working

A very useful article from one of the leading reefing magazine in UK . All thanks to Yellow tang ( Mike) for send me and sharing this info.

interesting...i am currently running on GAC and rowaphos in two FR.. will i still need to running my carbon ok with this? whats the dosage like for filling in the FR?

[Jameshong]

I'm running GAC & Rowa in one TLF 150 and NPX bioplastics in another TLF 150 for more than 2 wks but haven't get any fantastic result yet !
