Sold in 500ml Increments (13oz). Pure solid carbon source created to help reduce nitrates and phosphates within a marine environment. By encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria and enzymes on the medias surface, this pure self regulating media continuously provides a food source required for beneficial bacteria to reproduce and metabolize nitrates and phosphates. Compare to Reef Octopus Biosphere Bio Pellets Use approximately 100 – 150ml of bio pellets per 25 gallons of system volume or what is suggested for your reactor of choice. {When introducing any biopellet media for the first time, add small amounts gradually over the period of a couple months to prevent sudden crashes of Nitrate and phosphate levels and eliminates the risk of a bacterial bloom within the system} Rinse the bio pellets with purified fresh water and place in a properly sized fluidized media reactor with sufficient flow to keep them gently simmering. It is suggested to allow the media to soak overnight especially when installing the system for the first time. If the media begins to clump or slime up, they will be less effective and may turn anaerobic causing the production of hydrogen sulfide. These will remain effective until they disappear, which normally takes 7-12 months. We recommend that you top off with fresh bio pellets every 3 months to maintain maximum effectiveness.
