zeovit/biopellets on a nano?

[johntan]

I have what I would consider a nano reef, a 29g with 10g sump in the basement, pretty heavily stocked with sps/lps. My growth and color are good, but I have been reading about a lot of nano reefs using the zeovit system and their colors are fantastic.

Then I read about biopellets being more stable since it's not all the daily dosing, which is appealing. Has anyone used either of these systems on a smaller tank? Or any reef wizards out there have any suggestions?

I used biopellets on my 40 breeder w/ 20 sump. It worked great for keeping N & P in check. You just need to make sure the output of the biopellet reactor is facing directly into your skimmer or you will end up with too much bacteria in the water column. Additionally, you need to start VERY slowly and be VERY careful if you ever decide to change brands (say from a carbon source like ecobak to NP biopellets). Adding too much in the beginning or changing too quickly can completely bleach SPS.

Also, bio pellets will out compete your refugium if you have one.
