You don't need to seed them with bacteria. I took mine offline, cleaned them in tapwater and let them dry out for 3 days and then put them back online and the reactor was emitting zero nitrate effluent within a day.
How much are they moving in your reactor, and do you have any foam or enkamat on the output?

I was dosing MicroBacter7 to jump start the bacteria growth but haven't dosed since I left for vacation.
