If there is nothing to resolve, then what changes are you looking for?

Ah ha!! So, you're trying to resolve the brown algae. It does take some time, and I think some elbow grease will help speed things along. Undetectable nitrate and phosphate tests mean nothing when there is visible algae growing. Essentially, the biopellets (or other carbon dosing method) compete with the algae for nutrients and
should win. You have almost double the biopellets per gallon that I do. I would just wait a couple more weeks before adding any more biopellets. If you add too many biopellets at once or you come to have too many biopellets for the demand of the system you will more than likely get cyano.
