In my previous article I briefly went through my personal experience with bio-pellets over the last couple months. In that article I listed off the benefits to use said bio-pellets in our reef systems, and if I knew of any negative side effects at this point I would have listed those as well.

Last night my other half, Kevin, and I are hanging out in our basement/demo central. We were trying to make a shopping list for the hardware store so that we can finish the fishroom after the delivery of our water change tank.
