That's definitely signs of an overdose. The beauty of biopellets is that the bacterial growth is contained within the confines of a reactor and the effluent is either directly plumbed to the skimmer or in its vicinity. Thereby, the bacteria is produced and removed from your system without affecting anything in your display.
