Ok that explain why 50ml was still enough to create a bacteria bloom. You should start with something like 10ml and build your way up. I think 50ml was too much to quick.

Yeah I think your right. When I start them up again in a few weeks I will only start with a table spoon at most.

Don't worry about running any pellets until you get the whole sump/skimmer issue dealt with. In order for the pellets to be successfully run in a tank you have to have a skimmer that is capable of removing the bacteria that the pellets produce. Also your pellet reactor output should be directed directly at your skimmer input for maximum benefit.

Okay, good to know. So when I do get my sump and new skimmer up and running, I should put the bio-pellet input/output right where the skimmer is?

The reactor input is facing towards the drainage from tank to sump, the output is either directly plumbed into the skimmer pump or extremely close to it. That way all the water exiting the reactor will be skimmed right away for all the excess bacteria produced by the pellets. over time, slowly(once every couple of months) inch the reactor output away from the skimmer till you have about 2 inches of play....that way your tank can slowly adapt to the extra bacteria thus reducing the chance of a crash happening again!
Non the less, I really hope everything pulls through for you!
