Difference in GFO and Biopellets? Aren’t they ultimately doing the same things?
No, gfo is a po4 absorption media and biopellets serve as food to support a bacteria population that helps reduce no3 and po4.Difference in GFO and Biopellets? Aren’t they ultimately doing the same things?
Interestingly, he didn't find methanol....but that is most likely because it's only there in trace amounts.

Actually, he did, but it and isopropanol were present at lower levels.

I have a 55 gallon refugium that produces a football size of Chaeto I discard weekly. There’s also a GFO/Carbon reactor, Skimmer, 2 Sicce Syncra SDC 9.0 pumps, probes, and dosing hoses.Curious why you choose to dose and not use another method of nitrate/phosphate export such as a refuge? Refuge would be considered self regulating.
I don’t believe so.If you have a biopellet rector do you NEED to dose with a carbon source? How about with Marine blocks and spheres?
I've never been a fan of biopellets for several reasons, most apparent of which is that it is harder to control the "dose" and very difficult to control the timing of its consumption (and the follow on effects of lower pH).
I used a macroalgae refugium, vinegar dosing, large rock filled refugia, and GFO all at the same time. Each method has its own pros and cons, and I'm a fan of using more than one to make up for that lack in any individual method.

Methanol, acetic acidCorrect me if I’m wrong sir but isn’t NOPOX basically Vodka and Vinegar?
