BIOPELLET reactor who is running one?

Any one still running biopeletts what do you see as positive and negative?

I put them back on on my BAT trying to get back to what made my original system successful with the least amount of trouble.

I had problems using a TLF for biopellets. The problem was not being able to control the flow out of the reactor while still being able to have a strong tumble. I believe this was the ultimate reason for a cyano breakout. Nitrates were lower and stable and the water was crystal clear. A dedicated reactor which is purposed for bio pellets that you control the water leaving the reactor would solve my issue. Problem being, I don't want to buy another gadget so I'm using other sources of carbon. Once bio pellets were removed the cyano died off with one treatment of chemiclean.
