What media do you put in a pouch in your sump to help lower nitrates? Someone gave me a sample of Kent Marine Nitrogen Sponge Pebbles. Can I just rinse this and put this in a mesh bag and place it in my sump or is there a better product/method? I am asking because someone told me that these are just small rocks (not chemically altered) that promote more surface area for bacteria to breed- true or false? I thought they were chemically treated?
My nitrates are intermediate and my LFS tells me that I shouldnt do weekly water changes since my tank is still cycling? (My tank was purchased used 3 months ago. It was fully set-up, with live rock, few corals and fish. We moved it into our home, replaced sandbed and cleaned it intensely).
What do you guys think of Bulk Reef's Bio Pellet reactor and Bio Pellets????
Lastly, what media are you using in your sump? I see some people using carbon, GFO, etc??? That's all foreign to me. I have a sump, eshopps skimmer, phosphate reactor with phosban and that's it.
Thank you so much!!!!
