Bio pellet help?

[NightHawk-33]

HI there,

Currrently setting up a 75g reef and was planning on using a bio pellet reactor and a carbon reactor, (instead of gfo). My question is, do i use the bio pellet reactor throughout the cycle? I remember seeing that this helps somehow? I am not going to run my skimmer and carbon reactor until after the cycle.

I dont see what it would hurt it will reduce nitrates as there created during cycle i ran my skimmer and fugi during cycle with no problems but imo id run gfo over carbon
