biopellet reactors

[jft]

anyone know if they can be used in freshwater or are they just used in salt where you also have to have a skimmer I am curious to try in my phosban rea ctor by sprung. 180 mixed community tank.

I'm setting up a phosban 550 with purigen. Should work just fine for freshwater.

I am speaking of Biopellets Not purigen but thanks for the input!

Did you try them out? I want to try some out seems it should work, but a reactor is not cheap.

what are you using biopellets for, biological filteration or p04 reduction?

I'm talking about this http://www.marinedepot.com/NP_Biope...r_Media-NP_Biopellets-XB1113-FIFMCHNR-vi.html

Sounds like they work well, just need to figure out a good reactor to run them in. Also I saw that on saltwater tanks they say to run the outflow into a skimmer to help clean up the 'bio film' that can come out. Just wondering how this would work on freshwater.

Bio media isn't a problem, but if this could lower nitrates it would be awesome!

It is unnecessary in fresh water
