Hey guys Iam trying to play with my gfo and biopellets and was wondering how much are you guys running? My goal is to run less gfo and more biopellets.
I have a90g and I started off with 2table spoon, after 6 month of adding I stopped at 3/4 cup and I change my gfo monthly.

I have ~140 gallons, I use 1 cup gfo per month, and there's got to be at least a cup of pellets in the chamber.  I just buy a pack of them and dump them in (once per year so far).

140 gallons....? Thats not what it says in your tank info lol :)

Joking aside.....i got a 75g with about 30g sump and i run 250mL of brs hc gfo as well as 250mL of rowaphos.....change monthly and use phosban150 reactors
I currently do not use pellets but probably in the future.....this gives me undetectable po4 and nitrate. Just be careful dropping or raising your po4 or nitrates too quick.....i think its hard on some corals....
