Polyp extensions on my corals are the best I have seen and my Sps acro frag is coloring up at a fast rate. I'm also able to feed heavily to keep the corals nourished without any algae build-up. The glass needs to be cleaned maybe once a week instead of every 3 days and it is only a very light dusting. The problems I have read about are people with high nitrates and starting with too many biopellets which causes a rapid deficiency of nutrients and shocks the corals. I have been keeping the water changes and started with 25 percent of the pellets and am shocked at how well these work. just my 2 cents..
Good to hear another success story!
