I'm glad things are working currently for your tank with the carbon dosing and I don't mean to be a kill joy but I think this is worth a read and something to consider and wish you nothing but the best my friend
The funny thing with bacteria is while we love it, to much of a good thing can sometimes be bad. Bacteria are a fundamental part of the phosphate cycle and as such are directly proportional to food and carbon supply.
More you have running around the tank means the more food they have eaten and are holding, the problem arises when the population peaks and some starve due to a shortage. Now you have a lot of little corpses decaying and releasing that food they contain in essence. This is kind of the driving force for any method that boosts bacteria populations and backs it up with a great skimmer to try to remove lots of the bodies before the dead start piling up.
Vodka dosing, Biopellets, even Algae feed bacteria populations. Their presence, if you will increases the total bacteria population, the sudden surge in population is akin to what wood stock was like say 4 hours into the show....munchies! So they eat a bunch of crap, then the vending machines run low on Doritos and next thing ya know you have a bunch of starving and dying hippy bacteria on your lawn!
Now what is detritus? Detritus is some food left overs, but the far vast majority of it is well dead bacteria. You fed the tank they partied and now you have dead hippy bacteria on your lawn. We call this "bacterial flock" sometimes. Which is okay bacteria in a sense are cannibals and eat their kin as they decompose.
So you in a way have more nutrients tied up in the tank and more exchange of organic and inorganic phosphates occurring in large volume and more frequently. So if your bacteria "boosting" method falls behind or not enough goes in, you get a release of nutrients back into the tank. Or if the food supply instead of carbon supply diminishes you get a boost in released nutrients. Since your maintaining higher populations your have more ready to be released if you stop the methods or there is a interuption ect. (usually algae appears to a degree or just a increase in detritus)
Its kind of a self fulfilling product. You start using it and the second you stop your tank looks worse, which makes you want to use the product again... But actually when you stop you end up seeing the results of the nutrients you were avoiding. The hens come home to roost, and the dead bacteria hippies are piling up.
Just something to consider I love bacteria and what its doing for us but recently I've started to realize their not always a great thing lol
