I have no experience with using Biopellets for nitrate reduction. I would love some guidance... Here are some questions I have so far...
1) Could biopellets be used from the very start of a new tank set-up? Just about every account I have read about concerns addition of biopellet "therapy" on an established tank.
2) What is the typical flow rate through the reactor? I know this is somewhat variable because of different tank sizes, bioloads, etc. Too slow and biofilms can form; too fast decreases contact with the surface area of the pellets. But is there a typical range of flow?
I may think of more questions later but this will help me start my thinking and planning process. I have a new 300 gallon to get going. :thumbs:
