Default Are all biopellets created equal?

I'm on my second batch of Vertex pellets to the tune of $150 and only have about 250ml left. I've seen other pellets out there that are cheaper. At the speed this new reactor is spinning them, I can see a bulk buy in my future.

Q:Are they all the same thing or are there lower/higher quality biodegradable polymers? I'm spooked about using anything else unless others have had luck with something less expensive.

Thanks,
Tom

I need to figure out what pellets i am running......I have no idea what brand they are......

I can say for sure though, whatever they are, they have my nitrates in check. Phosphate levels are still uncertain. Been running around 7 months now.

That's what I'm looking for, Chris. Another brand that's worked for somebody. If you find out that would be great.
