There was a recent thread about this same subject. And as was said there "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", or something like that.

I would wait until you have some measurable nitrates and see phosphate climb a bit higher, before starting bio pellets or GFO.

And this is coming from someone who is running bio pellets and GFO. But I have a very mature tank, and used to have high both. But I would not do it, until I have exhausted all other good tank husbandry efforts. Dosing some MB7 early, though, would be good, to ensure sufficient beneficial bacteria, and help your live rock to do its job.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
