I believe I've read that once the level is down a third you either add more or replace. Also, do you have the output/effluent from your biopellet reactor directed into the same compartment as your skimmer intake? The red slime you saw was likely a byproduct of the effluent not being skimmed out.

I start having red slim in the tank within 4 month of pellet being online... took it off and replaced it with new load of pellet... the slim went away in few days...
Thinking about it now...
<span style="color: Red"><u>I did a little test... when people were talking about running skimmer part.... that is what cause the red slim... </u></span>
as for skimmer... I always had the output of reactor back into skimmer chamber... And I noticed right away that my skimmer was working much better... Pulling much gunk out...
