Havent checked phosphates lately.
But dont the biopellets reduce Nitrates AND Phosphates?
I havent had a bacterial bloom (knock on wood). Hair algae levels have been relatively the same since the start. But some algae on the back glass has started to turn grey...

Too fast = Bacteria Bloom = No good
