Ok so i am sort of "running scared" like I havent been since the early days of starting a reef tank a couple years ago. I started running NP Biopellets in a Nextreef reactor (just shy of 1000ml / 1 liter / the big bag) over the weekend. I have done some reading on this forum to get up to speed but I need some comfort from the BRS members who have been through this "pellet experience". My water clouded up big time and my corals arent happy at all although fish dont seem to mind. My skimmer is going bonkers (as i expected) but I have more questions than answers at this point. How long does the water stay cloudy for? Am i stressing my corals out to the point of doing damage to them while this is happening? anyone lose any corals as result of the stress caused by this initial and hoefully temporary adverse affect?
So for those of you who have gotten beyond this please tell me this will pass and tell me i will make it to the other side as my mind is questioning why i did this to begin with (basically chasing low nitrates) as i really havent had any algae problems to speak of and corals have been doing well heading into this.......will it be worth it......will the adverse effects pass soon?
