Help With Bio Pellets

[Cliff]

OK guys so here's my predicament .
My bio pellets work very well and unfortunately I cannot get away from using them. They ran out on me about three weeks ago and I had a major nitrate spike I thought that my ATS and my refugium would kick in as the bio pellets deteriorated but they did not;so I was forced to fill my reactor with pellets again. My problem is that they work too well; I end up with zero nitrates and my LPS start to suffer. How do I control this better? I have read of using a recirculating type of bio pellet reactor that Way I could control the amount of effluent going through the reactor. With that work better? Any experience would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Cliff

Easiest way is use less pellets then they recommended so it is processing waste but not to the point that it is 0. I myself like Nitra Guard better for carbon dosing. Easier to control and way less messing around with.

Did get some nitric guard that stuff is very hard to find lately maybe I should get it online and faze out the bio pellets
I was just apprehensive to start using a product that I am going to have a hard time finding again

I find it goes quick in the stores so it looks like it is not in. When i was using it i just started ordering it online.

Lots of people run no nitrates with LPS. That does mean you will need to spot feed your lps/softies though. Nothing in this hobby is ever easy lol
