Totally different bacteria. That's mostly for nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. If you're having a bloom or visible growth, that bacteria is not going to be affected by any amount of bio spheres

I didn't mean to sound rude , but I think you are trying to do to much to soon .
Carbon dosing and bio pellets can take week s if not months in same cases to show effect, and with the nitrate levels in you're system I can guarantee you didn't let it run it's course.
As for the calcium and magnesium, I reckon with the amount of corals you got you could get away with just weekly water changes with a with a good salt with elevated levels.
Just my opinion that's all . I ain't a pro !!!
good luck either way

Well no problem didn’t feel rude , I am carbon dosing for 10 weeks now so I think I want some result . And yeah prb want to do to much to soon but I just want the algae away so fast as posibkle and a healthy tank again because like 3 months ago I lost of 20 colonies of Euphyllia and I recently got new one but those are big and they can’t die or even live in not perfect parameters . And it is just always the algae issue comes back first complete green hair algae breakout needed to almost deep clean the rocks ( didn’t do after all ) and then coral growth issue like 0 growth in 6 months ( and unfortunately still is )I didn't mean to sound rude , but I think you are trying to do to much to soon .

And now these weird funky white algae , I am just tired of the algae outbreaks each time again.
The most annoying thing I recently found out that I was using the wrong kind of phosphate reagens for my Hanna checker I have a ppb phosphorus ulr and k was using phosphate ulr reagens

And the thing is I buy my saltwater at my small lfs but the mag and Ca levels are to low for me to make my Euphyllias happy (1320 mg , 340 Ca ) I think and like salt 1024 / 25 but I try to keep my salt at 1025 and mg +1430 ca 430I didn't mean to sound rude , but I think you are trying to do to much to soon .

If you can't filter your own water at home, you can still just buy RODI water from the LFS and mix your saltwater at home. That way you can buy a salt mix that is closer to the parameters you want.
Not helping with parameters and such but rather than blowing it off the rocks maybe vacuum it of with a syphon hose flowing through a filter sock in a bucket then you can pour the water back in. Will probably get more of it out of the tank water vs having it blow around and maybe get to the filtration.
