I also think less is more when dealing with the bio-pellets. I run half of what they recomend on my tank, The cheato is still growing(with a little die off when adding new pellets), this just means that I add more on a more frequent basis.
You could try feeding the pellets as you would with zeolites. I have found that the pellets need lots of food to work well. Just my two cents, hope this helps.

OK, something to think about... Can anybody else give this same type of proof. I just don't remove things cause, but if others can pipe in, then HMMMMMM
