That at least has been established from liquid carbon dosing, and so far seems to be the case with pellets. Certainly seems to be the case in my tank, but only short term so far.
I'm well aware of how the process works, I've been Dosing Vodka long B4 it became fashionable to do so. And have had great success in doing so, I want to be able to use the pellets in place of the dosing regiment if they are viable and have no adverse long term effects. Plain and simple.
