Do you run the bio pellets in your BRS reactor? I have the dual BRS reactor.....:)

nope I have separate reactors and pumps for my GFO and bio pellets. as bio pellets don't get changed out just topped off every 3-4 months. I use a octopus bio pellet reactor so far best one I've used.

I use the octopus reactor with the pump underneath a little pricey but an excellent reactor. Octopus makes the best reactors, I tried PM, Nextreef and nothing compares.

I have not started carbon dosing yet, so I can't speak from experience, but success (and failures) have been reported with both methods. Some prefer biopellets for their ease of use, but others prefer vodka/vinegar because they can control the exact amounts that are being introduced into the system. I have not decided which route I want to go yet.

I would think the fish and inverts may enjoy the vodka more. ;)
