About to buy some biopellets, which brand is a effective one?
I have a 25 gal tank with back in the wall sump, lots of corals, 5 fish, one shrimp, i have a part of the sump full with chaeto, it had had my nitrates 0-5 ppm but that was when i only had a pair of fish, now nitrates levels are at 30 ppm, i always do a 5 gal water change every week, phosphate levels last I checked it was at 0.046( i use ROWA to lower PO4), my main concern is nitrates
Does some one has any experience with this, can u guys share any links of videos or information i can watch or read.
Thanks fellas

Bio pellets require maintenance. I've tried biopellets, siporax, the maxpect bio media, and zeovit. They all work for lowering nitrates. With automatic reactors, zeovit is probably the easiest, but probably the most expensive. Personally, i would do siporax or the maxpect stuff over bio pellets.
