I was, but these issues were not related to the running of pellets, as I had not actually had them running on my tank yet. Bad timing for starting...
I did plumb the reactor into my return line. Due to some design issues in the first try, I did not actually start my pellets. I had to invert the...
Thanks; it was fun making it! Running biopellets can increase your pH levels in your aquarium, causing alk burns to some corals (one thing I did...
All carbon sources will have an exhaustion period, upon which some leach back into the system (i.e., granular activated carbon), and others...

Perhaps some fish waste would be beneficial to the soft corals.
The funny thing is, the rest of my zoas/palys are open wide and happy. It's just the king midas.
Thanks, Cosmo. I think I should figure out what's wrong with the tank first. I will let you know when I am ready.
I know calcium is an issue in my tank (birdsnests all got STN :-/ ), and so I will be buying Red Sea Coral Pro salt mix, and going back to doing...
