Hello MR, my Elos Midi has started to develop diatoms on the sand bed, and lots of glass algae. I have a bad habit of over feeding my tank inhabitants and therefore always have high PO4 levels. I started a IM full size reactor w/500ml of all-in-one bio pellets. One day in and so far no clouding of the aquarium water. I've been doing some reading and it appears that I should prepare for an algae bloom which will cloud my water. I'm going to use my Hanna meter to get a base level of my PO4.
Does anyone know how to minimize this water clouding and how long will this last? I'm hoping to keep better water quality by running these pellets, has anyone used this product and are there any pitfalls? Thanks in advance for any input you may have.
