Zeovit Additives while running bio pellets

[TDTA1181]

I was interested to see if anyone is using the Zeovit additives while running bio pellets? I'm currently using their bacteria, amino acids, zeostart 3, Pohl's solution, & Zeo food. I rarely dose the food b/c they way I understand it is that the biopellets should be the food source. I don't have the Zeo reactors or the Zeolit material. I also am running a phosphate reactor. I have used Probodio in the past, probably 2-3 yrs ago, w/ no problems. Just mainly worried a/ b using the bacteria and the Zeostart in conjunction w/ phosphate & bio pellet reactors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Zeostart is a carbon source. Same as your pellets. So you are adding 2 carbon sources.
The pellets need both po4 and nitrate in the system to reduce both. If one runs out, it stops pulling the other.
Running gfo with pellets should only be done if you can't get the last bit of po4 out and nitrate is gone.

Do u think I should discontinue the biopellets? Im using the Zeostart to keep my phosphates in check. I started this tank with completely dead rock and a'f adding bacteria i was using the biopellets to give them a constant food source. Ive been struggling w/ sps but this tank is only 5 months old. I change the rowaphos about every 2-3 weeks. Sorry just a little frustrated & dont know which way to go here.
