I think that's sort of normal. The pellets are both a food source for bacteria and a growth medium for bacteria, so at first when introduced they are a food source for bacteria but the bacteria has to colonize the pellets. After colonized they should easily outcompete the cyano bacteria but it can take a couple weeks.
