    After 71 days the TLF biopellets have finally started showing some signs of doing what they are supposed to.
    I did break down and add some Microbacter 7 at the 56 day mark .
    But after having nitrates at the lvl of 40-80 ppm and seeing them now at 10 ppm I am a happy reefer :clapping:
    >>>By the way this was achieved with about 175 ml of pellets in a 120 volume system with just gentle tumbling action.

    Is it normal for them to take that long? Wow!

    Well I think if I would have seeded the pellets with microbacter7 sooner it may have happened sooner.But I didn't because the instructions said it was not necessary to add bacteria.
