Bio Pellets

I use to run pellets all the time also, for around 5 years. I stopped using them because they would strip my water of nutrients, although when I started the hobby it was thought to be good to have low nutrients. I now have higher nutrients and my sps color up and grow way better than before. I guess it all depends on what type of tank you want to run. I am about to put pellets on my seahorse tank with a nano reactor I just bought. I want to keep their water clean because I feed heavy, mysis twice daily. As for my sps tank, I run a tiny amount of Gfo to keep the po4 at a desirable level and sometimes I'll run carbon in emergencies or randomly to make my water column sparkle.
Don't let my post change your mind on pellets. It's all circumstantial, it seems like you have a large tank with a heavy bio load. Pellets are great at keeping nitrates at bay! What are your numbers with the pellets? My tank is a light bio load, which I can hit my target numbers with water changes and gfo.
