Any use dr tims np active pearls

I have a slight algea problem im lowering nitrates and lowering phosphate but I want to put in a long term helper just wanted to know how hard it isn to use biopellets the main problem i see is making sure you keep O2 up in the tank from what I understand

Yes I do 15% wc weekly I feed once a day everyday except thursdays I have a rodi unit

 

NO- never even looked at a Dr. Tims product, even at the lfs

So many ways to accomplish the same thing in this hobby!

My LR, corrilline, and just as impoortantly, my huge chaeto basket always keep my N & P undetectable via API- which I know doesn't go real low, especially for Phosphate.

So I built a DIY PhosGuard reactor- gartorade bottle and a MJ power head, and rarely chane of add any pellets.

But if that product just may work for you, go for it.

 

Im just looking I have cheato but for some reason seems to be not doing the job I have it in a low flow area with a cpf light that is 6500k
I have the minimax reactor with gfo but it removes phophate i wantn something that will do both

 

MIne is also in the more or less direct f
low of my entire sump turnover.

My sump goes Skimmer portion- Chaeto Basket (big area), return pump
I only use one return to my sump.

Have you looked for the possible source of the nitrates? How high?
Good luck.

 

i have a 10 gal sump with a cpr hob fug since i did have room to put it in.

nitrates every time i test are 80+ i have looked i see a few empty shells i pull them out just incase ive cut back how much food i put in water i just dont know where its comeing from i have a CuC it seems to be doing most of its job as it can. the cyano is growing maining on/in my over flow, my wavemakers and my return spout from the sump. luckly hair algea hasnt shown up yet.
i wana get it sovled before i put any corals in.

 

i forgot to mention tank is onyl 1 1/2-2months old should i not worry to much as it will slowly go down or what?
