I would use a phosphate removing media, change the ro filters, siphon out the slime, clean all filters/sponges, soak all carbon in ro/di prior to use, soak all foods in ro/di prior to feeding, replace any old PC bulbs, and maybe reduce the photoperiod for a week or two.

ill do that tommorrow, iguees ill change the water too. since im going to change out some water tommorw ill add this stuff anyways. it works but im not a fan of anything that changes the water color for a few hours lol

my RO filters are crystal clear...should i really change em?

You'll need a TDS meter to test the filtered water output. Anything over zero means it is time for a new filter or two.
