TINY PELLETS, MASSIVE IMPACT ON REEF KEEPING

For both the novice and experienced aquarist alike, few aspects to reef keeping present as consistent a challenge as the effects of problem algae and bacteria in a saltwater tank. From cyanobacteria to hairline algae, these undesirable elements reduce the pleasure and enjoyment an aquarist should feel from their tank. Thankfully, Vertex Biopellets have arrived to deliver the fatal blow in the war against problem algae and bacteria.

SAFE, SIMPLE, POWERFUL

Composed of a biodegradable polymer, the pellets are designed for use in a fluidized media reactors. The Pellets promote the growth of aerobic and anaerobic nitrifying bacteria which use carbon from the pellets to consume nitrate and phosphate. This process dramatically eliminates unsightly algae and cyanobacteria (red slime) while increasing the overall health and vigor of a tanks inhabitants.

The surplus bacterial generated by the biopellets are then consumed by sponges and corals or removed by a protein skimmer. Within a few weeks, without any routine dosing, even the most novice of reef keepers can maintain a crystal clear tank.

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:

  • Dramatically reduce nitrate and phosphate.
  • Eliminate unsightly bacteria and algae.
  • Ease of use and novice friendly.
  • Affordable, efficient, and 100% reef safe.

TECHNICAL DATA:

  • 100% Biodegradable Polymer
  • In 500ml and 1000ml sizes
  • 500ml per 100L of net water volume

Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets are an amazing product. For years hobbyists have been dosing vodka to reduce nitrates and phosphates, but now there is an easier way. Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets are fairly easy to use, but you need to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and FOLLOW THEM. I cannot stress enough how many times I have heard customers using the maximum pellets assuming more is better. Using the maximum can crash your system and cost you lots of money. If you start low, monitor your water parameters and increase as needed you will have great success.
All you need is a media reactor, a bag of Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets and a maxi-jet pump, or something similar to get things started. The pellets will dissolve and need to be replaced every 4-6 months so one bag will last you a while. I used these on a tank that had a constant nitrate level of 20-30ppm and Phosphates of 1.0ppm. After just 5 days my nitrates dropped to 5ppm and phosphates down to .1ppm. After a full week of using, both nitrates and phosphates were undetectable. If you are having nutrient issues, I couldn't recommend this product enough.
Good Points Drastically reduces nitrates and phosphates, removes hair algae and cyanobacteria
Bad Points Easy to overdose,finding the right flow can be difficult
Reef Safe? Yes
Do you recommend? Yes
