Biopellet Reactor

[JH919]

Hello guys,
I'm soon to be restarting my 75g tank as soon as the rest of my plumbing and new return pump to arrive. My question is...when should I run my biopellet reactor? Do I wait until the tank cycles or as it cycles? Please let this rookie know. Thanks!

I'd wait till after the cycle to see if nutrients are going to be an issue. Lots of people report issues with biopellets or carbon dosing in general durring the cycle. They also feed nuisance growth like cyano bacteria. I've seen very few people swear by biopellets as a long term solution for nutrients.

Thanks 2quills. I'll definitely wait until the nutrients pose a problem.
