It your Carbon reactor that is overfeeding the Bactria and you get what is in the video and in your tank. Lower the amount of Bio Pellets and/or slow the flow through the reactor. Better off pulling the reactor for now and let things settle down. Just thought of it, you me Carbon reactor as Bio Pellet and not Activated Carbon?

carbon reactor meaning Biopellets. or running Activated carbon? big difference between the two.
