    Biopellets-----week 2

    It's been two weeks since I put the JNS biopellet reactor online. So far so good....I think the reactor tumbles a little too rigorously but well see.

    Cheaper temp controller alternative

    Just realized that my QT tank has no temperature controller. I'm more worried about excessive heat. Are there any alternatives with a lower price point than having to purchase a controller i.e. RKL, apex jr, etc... that would kick on my fan when the tank reaches a certain temp?

    When to add Chaeto?

    My tank is going through a cycle and someone has offered me some free Chaeto. I'll be picking it up this afternoon. Is it a bad idea to add it during the middle of a cycle period? My biggest concern is that the ammonia/nitrite levels will kill the chaeto. Any thoughts?
