I will look into it more before I take the plunge. I use carbon in a mesh sock in my sump 24/7. The only other reactor I will be running is a GFO reactor which will go online the fist or second week of January. Do you recommend not running carbon 24/7 with the Bio Pellet reactor?

Thanks Nick! I have quite a few new corals in there so I'll have to be patient.

Hi Jesse - I do not have any issues with running carbon 24/7. I run my carbon actively through a skimz media reactor. The bio pellets I cant comment on, but I have no problems with Zeo and Carbon.

Great to know, obviously your doing something right. Corals look great.

Love the diversity in corals, looks like they are on their way to being all grown up! Can't wait to see in person. Keep it up!!

Very nice corals and color. I wish I could get my purple bonsai to look as good as yours! Cant figure it out.

After talking to you I had to come see some pics, James.

GREAT looking setup you have there. The corals look wonderful!
